Violet Clarke Wilkins

Yes, her hands may be hardened from labor
And her dress may not be very fine;
But a heart in her bosom is beating
That is true to her class and her kind.
And the grafters in terror are trembling
When her spite and defiance she'll hurl; - Joe Hill

"All I want to say is a long life to the I.W.W. and onward the world to revolution." Violet Clarke Wilkins

In 1919 in Melbourne, they arrested Violet Clarke on charges relating to the Red Flag Campaign (for the bearing of the people’s standard had been made illegal during the war and many resisted the imposition). At one time, she had four summonses served on her at the same time. When she always refused to plead, which was always, they put her in goal. The second time this happened she went on hunger strike and had her sentence shortened – a case of direct action getting the goods.
