Plotting x^(1/3)

How do I get Mathematica to plot solutions on the left and right side of the y-axis instead of just the right side?

Plot[x^(1/3), {x, -10, 10}, PlotRange -> 3]

Edit: I guess I should clarify. See graph below. Is there an easy way to plot negatives values for x? (-8)^(1/3)=-2 but it's not plotting the left hand side.

could try reading the documentation maybe. Check axis and plotrange options. – tsuresuregusa Jan 11 '16 at 04:06
@tsuresuregusa I'm not sure what you mean. Can you clarify? I feel I am fairly proficient with axis and plotrange options, but apparently not. – B flat Jan 11 '16 at 04:12
(-8)^(1/3)=-2, How did you get this? it is complex number? – Nasser Jan 11 '16 at 04:19
Got it. Didn't realize Mathematica solves over the complex numbers. Use CubeRoot[] instead. – B flat Jan 11 '16 at 04:21

@MichaelMcCain didn't understand what you meant before the image, sorry. – tsuresuregusa Jan 11 '16 at 14:06
