The Voices is an American novel by Mrs. I. Lowenberg (San Francisco, Harr Wegner Publishing Company, 1920), which contained much matter on the necessity of political reforms. Described as a novel for the 1920 United States presidential election, it revolves around a present-day Joan, not of Ark, but of one who listened to small voices within and became, in consequence, a leader in industrial and political happenings. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, the heroine secured a position in an iron and steel plant and took part in the questions which arose there between capital and labor. Romance and love-interest are also a part of the story which introduces personalities on both sides of the issues of industry.[1] "Equal rights to all — unions and non-unions, organized and unorganized labor", declares the heroine, her intelligence stimulated by the mystic voices that speak to her from out the impalpable air.[2]
