American anarchist Voltairine de Cleyre wrote an essay called ''Direct Action'' in 1912 which is widely cited today. In this essay, de Cleyre points to historical examples such as the [[Boston Tea Party]] and the [[Republican party]] [[Abolitionism|anti-slavery movement]], noting that "direct action has always been used, and has the historical sanction of the very people now reprobating it."<ref>{{Harvnb|De Cleyre|2004|p=50}}</ref>

In his 1920 book, ''Direct Action'', William Mellor placed direct action firmly in the [[Marxist]] [[class struggle]] between worker and employer for control "over the economic life of society."
