	A spy, indeed.(The Lives of Agnes Smedley)(Book Review) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Smedley may have been, in Price's words, a "rebel in the largest and finest sense of the word," but she also was precisely what her most fervent enemies accused her of being: a Soviet spy.
		As China moved toward war with Japan, Smedley sought to gain entr,e to the areas of China controlled by Mao and the Red Army, eventually gaining access to Mao's base camp at Yenan, where she was wined and dined by the Communist leaders as a friendly Western journalist.
		Smedley had a unique capacity to escape the net closing in around her, and to gain the support of honest advocates of civil liberties, who vouched for her and whose word served to convince others of her innocence.

	[Marxism] Agnes Smedley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		By RUTH PRICE Agnes Smedley was one of the most significant American women of the 20th century, a flamboyant journalist, feminist, and political activist who made historic contributions to letters and politics on three continents and had a celebrated roster of friends including Margaret Sanger, Emma Goldman, Mao Zedong, and Langston Hughes.
		Perhaps that is why the only book on Smedley until now (Agnes Smedley: The Life and Times of An American Radical, by Janice and Stephen MacKinnon) spends no time exploring the possible veracity of the accusations against Smedley and dismisses in a single sentence the charge that she worked for the Comintern.
		For example, Smedley wrote a letter in 1927 to a friend in which she explained the circumstances that had thrown her "completely into the arms of the Bolsheviks for all practical purposes." The MacKinnons' 1988 book omits that sentence when quoting the letter.

	Agnes Smedley: On Proving What Her Worst Enemies Had Claimed (Much to My Regret)
		My acquaintance with Agnes Smedley began in 1976 with a reprint edition of her 1929 novel, Daughter of Earth, but it was not until the mid-1980s that I took up my sojourn with this now largely forgotten figure.
		Smedley, as I soon learned, was one of the most significant American women of the twentieth century: a flamboyant journalist, feminist, and political activist who made historic contributions to letters and politics on three continents.
		Although Smedley led a covert life for more than a quarter of a century, and was guilty of at least as much as what Japanese, Chinese, American, British, French and German officials accused her, I do not see her as the vice-ridden villainess in the conservative, fl-and-white portrait.

		It captures perfectly the ironic and impassioned attitude that defines this writer, crusader and political organizer who died in 1950, at age 58, at the height of her fame and in the center of an international furor over charges that she was a spy for the Soviet Union.
		Famous now only for her 1929 feminist novel, Daughter of Earth, Smedley shines here as the prototype of the 20th-century feminist who is driven not only to claim her own personal, sexual, and political freedom but to play it out on the international stage.
		No surprise, then, that her outspoken involvement at the forefront, and clandestine machinations in the back rooms, of political uprisings in India, Russia, and China in the early twentieth century would earn her the reputation as a Soviet spy, charges that were never proven during her lifetime but that would hound her until her death.

	Agnes Smedley 1892-1950
		Agnes learned of contracts between Reuters, official British News Agency, and the KMT whereby the Agency received 10,000 dollars a month in exchange for 'favourable publicity' to the KMT government.
		She found that the KMT had only 39,000 members out of a population of 450 million, and that it 'had become, in other words, a small closed corporation of government officials and their subordinates.' Trade union fees were merely tributes to the KMT used to ensure that no organising occurred; agrarian reforms were non-existent.
		Agnes insisted that MacArthur was making an issue of the spy ring at that particular time because of the defeat of Chiang Kai-shek, and that his aim was to 'condition the American people into allowing him' more troops and money to build Japan into a mighty military base.
