Description and Table of Contents

Description

Best known for his muckraking expose of the pervasive conditions of squalor and brutality that accompanied the livestock industry in his book ""The Jungle"", Upton Sinclair's political activism was not limited to issues of worker's rights or workplace safety. These nine short works, never before published, reveal an author who also wrestled with questions concerning women's independence and the state of the health care industry in America. Always controversial, Sinclair ranges here from the comic to the deadly serious, while investigating issues that include artificial insemination and dietary measures.
