Book Description

This book provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of women in the labor movement in Minneapolis from 1915 to 1945. Drawing on a wealth of archival research, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between gender and class in American labor history.

The book begins by examining the changing nature of women's work in Minneapolis during the early 20th century. As women increasingly entered the workforce, they faced discrimination and exploitation in both the workplace and the labor movement. The author traces the efforts of women to organize and fight for their rights, focusing on their involvement in strikes, protests, and political campaigns.

The book also examines the role of men in the labor movement and their attitudes towards women's participation. The author argues that men's resistance to women's equality was rooted in both economic and cultural factors. She shows how men often used violence and intimidation to keep women out of unions and off the job market.

Despite the challenges they faced, women made significant contributions to the labor movement in Minneapolis. They played leading roles in organizing strikes, winning concessions from employers, and shaping labor policy. The book concludes by assessing the legacy of women's activism in the labor movement and its impact on American society.
