Marie Equi: Radical Politics
and Outlaw Passions
Michael Helquist
Oregon State University Press, 2015
ISBN 978-0-87071-595-2
2016 American Library Association Stonewall Honor Book
“Undergraduate students in my Women’s History course loved Michael Helquist’s book about the fiery and uncompromising radical physician Marie Equi. His balanced, gracefully written, and accessible study introduces students to the Progressive era, suffrage movements, the IWW and workers’ struggles, the Red Scare, women’s social and political networks, and women’s health issues and illegal abortion.”
Laurie Mercier, Claudius O. and Mary W. Johnson Professor of History
Washington State University, Vancouver
“Meticulous archival research…A splendid contribution to both feminist and lesbian history.”
Bettina Aptheker, Professor, Feminist Studies Department
University of California, Santa Cruz
“Helquist is particularly drawn toward Equi’s relationships with other women, both romantic and political, with strong results for both the narrative and our understanding of how these connections enabled and sustained an unconventional life …This biography deserves wide readership and much debate.”
Oregon Historical Quarterly
“An important contribution to scholarship on female-female sexuality in the Progressive Era … most histories of homosexuality during this period focus on relationships between men.”
