| Tillie Olsen‘s fiction and essays have been widely and rightly acknowledged, particularly by
 contemporary feminists, as major contributions to American
 literature. Yet few of Olsen‘s readers realize the extent
 5 to which her vision and choice of subject are rooted
 in an earlier literary heritage—the tradition of radical
 political thought, mostly socialist and anarchist, of the
 1910‘s and 1920‘s, and the Old Left tradition of the 1930‘s.
 I do not mean that one can adequately explain
 10 the eloquence of her work in terms of its political
 origins, or that left-wing politics were the single most
 important influence on it. My point is that its central
 consciousness—its profound understanding of class
 and gender as shaping influences on people‘s lives—owes
 15 much to that earlier literary heritage.
