Jane Speed

Picture
1910-1958
Jane Speed was born to a privileged Alabama family.  She and her mother Mary Craik Speed became communists, and Jane owned a radical bookstore in Montgomery.  In 1937 she married Puerto Rican communist labor leader César Andreu Iglesias and moved to Puerto Rico, where she continued her activism until her death from a stroke in 1958.  It has been a longstanding project of mine to write a short biographical pamphlet on her life and activism.  It still is.
