Goddess of Anarchy: The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical is a detailed biography of Lucy Parsons authored by Jacqueline Jones and released by Basic Books in December 2017.

Reception

Critics generally responded favorably to the biography. Kirkus Reviews characterized it as "thorough and balanced," though they suggested that a more affectionate tone toward Parsons could have increased reader engagement. In an interview with the New York Times, Jones explained her intention to offer a more complex depiction compared to the earlier, more admiring biography written by Carolyn Ashbaugh.
