RUSSELL, DORA The tamarisk tree : my quest for liberty and love.
New York G. P. Putnam & Co. 1975 0399115765 / 9780399115769 Hard Cover
304 pages, 4 plates, cloth, dj, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. From the dj: H.G. Wells once said of her 'Bertie thinks, I write, but you DO.' Such is one of the briefest, truest tributes to the life of Dora Black Russell, one of the century's first, most spirited champions of the cause of women. Dora Black emerged from an Edwardian childhood into a period of women's emancipation, of industrialism, revolution, and the rising working class. These problems were to remain lifelong concerns. While at Cambridge University during World War I, she began her association with Bertrand Russell, then in his early forties. Each separately visited Russia to see the results of the Bolshevik Revolution. Then both went to China, where their state of unmarried bliss and secular philosophy scandalized the Western delegations and missionaries but gave great encouragement to the Chinese. The pair believed passionately that love should be freely given and not subjected to possessive rights over the person, such as were embodied in the marriage laws of the time.
