She was captivated by this significant and controversial revolutionary figure, but perplexed by Jones’ historical exclusion and the anti-suffrage label that has dogged her.
Ms. Wake’s discoveries of glaring discrepancies that exist between writings about Jones and her own words and actions led to expanded research in 1994. Mother Jones: Revolutionary Leader of Labor and Social Reform defines Jones as the most relevant political voice for the working class to ever emerge from within the United States.
In 1996 Ms. Wake left California State government to pursue writing, poetry, and teaching. She holds a Master of Arts Degree in Government from California State University, Sacramento, and recently earned her teaching credential. She is a published writer and poet.
Ms. Wake and her husband, Sam, reside in Sacramento and have two grown sons.view less
