As a result of her political activities, she was expelled from high school
Now that's my kind of woman! Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/USAflynn.htm

Joe Hill even wrote a song about her.

Lyrics:

There are women of many descriptions
In this queer world, as everyone knows,
Some are living in beautiful mansions,
And are wearing the finest of clothes.
There are blue blooded queens and
Princesses, who have charms made of
Diamonds and pearl; but the only and
Thoroughbred lady is the Rebel Girl.

-Chorus-

That's the Rebel Girl, That's the Rebel Girl.
To the working class she's a
Precious pearl.
She brings Courage, Pride and Joy
To the fighting Rebel Boy
We've had girls before, but we
Need some more in the Industrial
Workers of the World. For it's
Great to fight for freedom
With a Rebel Girl


Yes, her hands may be harden'd from labor
And her dress may not be very fine;
But a heart in her bosom is beating
That is true to her class and kind.
Ans the grafters in terror are
Trembling when her spite and
Defiance she'll hurl. For the only and
Thoroughbred Lady is the Rebel Girl.

-Chorus-

That's the Rebel Girl, That's the Rebel Girl
To the working class she's a
Precious pearl
She brings Courage, Pride and Joy
To the fighting Rebel Boy
We've had girls before, but we
Need some more in the Industrial
Workers of the World. For it's
Great to fight for freedom
With a Rebel Girl

2. She's a Rebel by Green Day
All I want for Christmas is an activist woman of my own like the ones in these songs. Someone cute to wage a revolution with. Why not? :shrug:


"She's A Rebel"

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

From Chicago to Toronto
She's the one that they
Call old whatsername

She's the symbol
of resistance
and she's holding on my
heart like a hand grenade

Is she dreaming
what I'm thinking
Is she the mother of all bombs
gonna detonate

Is she trouble
like I'm trouble
make it a double
twist of fate
or a melody that

She sings the revolution
the dawning of our lives
she brings this liberation
that I just can't define
nothing comes to mind


She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel
She's a saint
She's salt of the earth
And she's dangerous

She's a rebel
Vigilante
Missing link on the brink
Of destruction

She's a rebel, She's a rebel, She's a rebel, And she's dangerous
