Reviews
"[Blewett's] detailed reconstruction of feminist perspectives in shoeworker protest and the divisions created by the competing loyalties to sisterhood and to working-class families is among the best available . . . With works like this, it should be impossible to write about the American working class without including women."-- Historical Journal of Massachusetts, "Blewett challenges historians to incorporate gender analysis and a tradition of working women's protest into the history of the American labor movement."-- Georgia Historical Quarterly, Winner of the 1989 Herbert G. Gutman Award, 1989. Winner of the New England Historical Association Book Award, 1989. Co-winner of the Joan Kelly Memorial Prize of the American Historical Association, 1989.
