Holding the Line

Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the pivotal role of women during the Phelps Dodge Copper Corporation strike, the narrative highlights their contributions as miners and in grassroots labor efforts. It explores the historical involvement of women and Mexican-Americans in labor movements, alongside the challenges of union-busting and the strike's aftermath, which left many without jobs. While the account is rich in interviews, it often lacks personal depth, with similar stories from women overshadowing individual narratives. The book serves as a provocative exploration but falls short of delivering a compelling human drama.
