Women And The American Labor Movement

This reprint of a groundbreaking history that traces American women's struggle for freedom, equality and unity in the labour movement follows the triumphs and set backs of this fight from the early Colonial labour associations to the late twentieth century. Women and the American Labour Movement gives voice to the women who had to battle on the shop floor and in the union movement for dignity and respect and who through courage and tenacity won significant victories in struggle for equal rights.
