Now forgotten, Dr. Marie Equi (1872–1952) was a physician for
working-class women and children, a lesbian, and a dynamic and
flamboyant political activist. She was a “firebrand in the causes of
suffrage, labor and peace, in Portland in the ’teens, ’20s, and
’30s.”[1]

reformer turned revolutionary, Equi earned the nickname “Queen of the
Bolsheviks,” one which spoke to her often imperious character as well as
to her politics. Equi’s political development was framed by intense and
significant changes within the US economy and society and its role in
world politics, upheavals which laid the basis for the many movements in
which she was involved: Progressive, women’s, socialist, radical labor,
and anti-imperialist. Spanning the period from the consolidation of
northern industrial capitalism to the emergence of the US as the
dominant imperialist power, Equi’s life serves as a chronicle of her
times and illuminates how one person was affected by and sought to
change world events.
