• Agnes Inglis (1870-1952). Unconventional library worker and radical. As curator of the Joseph A. Labadie Collection at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, for more than 20 years, Inglis collected correspondence, pamphlets, rare periodicals, propaganda, and other literature of the radical and labor movements between the two wars. The result is one of the most comprehensive international radical collections anywhere. Her lifetime concerns included sex discrimination, land reform, and the Industrial Workers of the World. Her friends (some of whom were anarchists, political prisoners, and aliens) said that as she grew older, she became more radical.
