*Discussion: Mother Jones at Chautauqua's FREE History Comes Alive Festival

*DISCUSSIONS are NOT costumed performances as are the other festival events. They are an opportunity to get to know the performers and discover what they think about their characters.

Mother Jones – Following the deaths of her family from yellow fever and the destruction of her business in the Great Chicago Fire, Jones became a labor leader, organizer and activist. She helped secure bans on child labor and co-founded the Industrial Workers of the World. She was called “the most dangerous woman in America.”
