A proud descendent of leading families of the South, Mason was a feminist, social activist, and spokesperson for the CIO. Salmond ( Southern Rebel ) examines her career, surprisingly liberal beliefs, and ability to use other people's stereotypes of an elite Southern lady for the benefit of working people's causes. Still, Mason played a relatively minor role in the dramas of labor and the South, and Salmond has not managed to make her life exciting nor found sources that probe the drama of her contradictory roles and values. (In contrast, see Elizabeth Anne Payne's Reform, Labor, and Feminism: Margaret Dreier Robins and the Women's Trade Union League , LJ 5/15/88.) Carefully researched; of interest to women's, Southern, and labor studies, but to few general readers.Frieda Shoenberg Rozen, Pennsylvania State Univ., University Park
