Book Description:
"Faue takes the familiar story of the famous 1934 Minneapolis truckers' strike and recasts and reconceptualizes its meaning with attention to gender and the organization of the broader city-wide labor movement. The confluence of labor, women, social history, and the rise of the New Deal state constitute together one of the hot areas in current historiography, and Faue's work is, as they say, at the cutting edge."--Daniel J. Walkowitz, New York University
Review:
Will change the way historians think about gender and the labor movement. . . . Faue argues that labor's 1930s rejection of women as partners stifled its possibilities for creative growth.--Alice Kessler-Harris
