Anita Whitney was a child of wealth and privilege who became a vocal leftist, early in the twentieth century. In 1919 she was arrested and charged with violating California's laws banning any speech or activity intended to change the American political and economic systems. The story of the Supreme Court case that grew out of Whitney's conviction, told in full in this book, is also the story of how Americans came to enjoy the most liberal speech laws in the world.
