Noonan, Ph.D. August 2013 About the Foreign Policy Research Institute Founded in 1955 by Ambassador Robert Strausz-Hupé, FPRI is a non-partisan, non-profit organization devoted to bringing the insights of scholarship to bear on the development of policies that advance U.S. national interests. In the tradition of Strausz-Hupé, FPRI embraces history and geography to illuminate foreign policy challenges facing the United States.

In addition to its main galleries and rich holdings, the museum hosts many educational programs and events and has published over a dozen books in support of its mission. FPRI’s Madeleine & W.W.

  • Ellen Dawson
    23 Chapter One – Ellen Dawson: “The Little Orphan of the Strikers” Ellen Dawson was a woman of fascinating contradictions – small and frail, yet a fearless fighter; stoic, yet a charismatic stump speaker: devout Catholic, yet a dedicated communist labor activist. In many ways, her life is representative of millions of immigrant American workers. Born into working class poverty, she was a victim of social and economic inequities that valued the wealth and power of a few over the welfare of the many. Raised in an environment of violent labor unrest, she was nurtured with socialist ideas that offered alternatives to capitalism. Forced to abandon her native Scotland in order to survive, she migrated first to England and then across the Atlantic in search of employment opportunity. In the United States, she helped organize and lead unskilled textile workers against abuses perpetuated by conspiracies of industrialists, government officials and trade unionists. When her revolutionary efforts failed, she retreated into the safety of silence and anonymity. Beyond all this, and perhaps most importantly, this is the story of one woman and her struggle to make the world a better place. Ellen’s life began during the closing days of the Victorian era, in a decaying, two-room tenement in Barrhead,1 a grim, smog-filled industrial village on the southwestern fringe of Glasgow. It was three o’clock in the morning on Friday, 24 December 14, 1900,2 eleven days before Christmas in a Scotland where Christmas was not yet a workers’ holiday.3 The day was chilly, with winds near gale force.
