- Summary
- "Jeanne Corbin's life was devoted to promoting communism. Her "red itinerary" began when she joined the Young Communist League in Edmonton. She later held party posts across the country through her involvement with The Worker in Toronto, a French communist paper in Montreal, the Workers' Cooperative in Timmins, and a lumbermen's strike in Abitibi - where she was jailed for taking part in a protest. She died of tuberculosis in London, Ontario, in 1944." "In an exploration of Corbin's life, the experiences of her female comrades, and their political activities, Red Travellers illuminates Canadian labour and social history in the interwar years."--BOOK JACKET.
