Hobo jungles, bughouses, whorehouse, Chicago's main stem, IWW meeting halls, skid rows, and open freight cars - these were the haunts of Bertha Thompson. This vivid autobiography recounts one hell of a rugged women's hard-living depression-era saga of misadventures with pimps, hopheads, murderers, yeggs, wobblies and anarchists. Kathy Acker contributes an introduction to this underground classic.
