Known to miners and strikers as "Mother" Jones, Mary Harris Jones built a national reputation by speaking as a protector of working families. Born in Ireland, she lost her husband and four children to yellow fever in Memphis in 1867, and after losing her Chicago home in the 1871 fire she turned to dressmaking and then to the labor movement. Her organizing with the United Mine Workers took her into strikes across coal country, and she stayed active well into her nineties. The "Mother" title itself shows how she linked labor struggle to family life.
