'We've lost a gifted writer and a relentless fighter for the working class.'
Her death was announced on Twitter by her son, Ben Ehrenreich, and daughter, Rosa Brooks.
"She was never much for thoughts and prayers, but you can honor her memory by loving one another, and by fighting like hell," Ben Ehrenreich wrote.on her personal website that she went through a"political, as well as a personal, transformation" in 1970 when she gave birth to her first child in a public health clinic in New York where she was"the only white patient at the clinic" and learned how many poor women are treated when seeking healthcare.
"They induced my labor because it was late in the evening and the doctor wanted to go home," she later said."I was enraged. The experience made me a feminist." "I have never seen a conflict between journalism and activism. As a journalist, I search for the truth. But as a moral person, I am also obliged to do something about it.
"The 'working poor,' as they are approvingly termed, are in fact the major philanthropists of our society," Ehrenreich
