Book Synopsis
In the late 1970s, Hollywood producers took the biography of Crystal Lee Sutton, a southern textile worker, and transformed it into the 1979 film, Norma Rae, featuring Sally Field. This fascinating book reveals how the film and the popular icon it created each worked to efface the labour history that formed the foundation of the film's story.
