Book Synopsis
"It is splendid, finally, to have this novel back in print . . . . Nothing before or since has so successfully captured the political and emotional spirit of the women's strike of 1909."—Alice Kessler-Harris, Rutgers University

Trade Review

Beautifully captures the emotionally charged atmosphere of the 1909 strike.

* Industrial and Labor Relations Review *

Strongly recommended to those interested in the history of labour unions, women workers and socialism in North America, as well as to those interested in the origins of feminism in the United States.

* Relations Industrielles *

Very effective in providing a feel for the details of the strike.... It also effectively illuminates the class tensions that existed between the strikers and some of their wealthy female supporters.... Basch's fine introduction makes it a useful teaching text as well.

* Labor History *
