"Victoria Grieve speaks to this moment in our history by invoking a long-forgotten past. Taking on as her subject the Federated Press, a crucial but little-known labor news service, Grieve gives us a deeper understanding of the labor press and the role of women in it. In the 1920s, as today, the scope of the news had narrowed. Activists established the Federated Press as the answer, providing not just regional and national coverage but international news that mattered. The stories Grieve tells represent the reach of the Federated Press and its women reporters. Central to their labor advocacy was the Woman Question, debated on the Left but experienced as well in unions and workplaces and the lives of women. It's a great read and a revelation."—Elizabeth Faue, author of Writing the Wrongs: Eva Valesh and the Rise of Labor Journalism
