Beatrice Hansen (1925–1969). The influences that shaped Hansen’s life were her childhood during the depression; her experiences as a teenager in Flint, Michigan, during the years of the tremendous working-class upsurge and the formation of the CIO; her desire to join the Socialist Workers Party when she was 13 years old; her years of work in the auto plants of Detroit; and her more than three decades as a builder of the revolutionary movement. She believed that the place for a revolutionary woman is in the forefront of the struggle of the working class for emancipation.
