Two years later, she captured headlines across the globe when she married James Graham Phelps Stokes, scion of one of the legendary 400 families of New York high society. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTogether, this unusual couple joined the burgeoning Socialist Party and, over the next dozen years, moved among the liveliest group of activists and dreamers this country has ever seen.

Du Bois. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRose stirred audiences to tears and led strikes of restaurant waiters and garment workers.
