Amelia Dupont

Occupation: Heiress and anarchist activist

Background: Amelia was born into a wealthy family in New York City in 1900. Her father was a prominent businessman and her mother was a socialite. Despite her privileged upbringing, Amelia became interested in anarchist politics at a young age and began to read the works of Emma Goldman and other radical thinkers.

By the time she reached her 20s, Amelia was a vocal advocate for workers' rights, women's suffrage, and the abolition of capitalism. She used her family's wealth to fund anarchist publications and to support strikes and demonstrations across the country. Her political activities often brought her into conflict with her parents, who disapproved of her radical views.
