Rocking the Boat: Union Women's Voices, 1915-1975 Paperback - 1996

by Brigid O'Farrell


From the rear cover

Rocking the Boat recognizes the strong, committed women who helped to build the American labor movement. Through the stories of eleven women from a wide range of backgrounds, we experience the turmoil, hardships, and accomplishments of thousands of other union women activists through the period spanning the Great Depression, the New Deal, World War II, the McCarthy era, the civil rights movement, and the women's movement.
