We Were Still Ladies

Gender and Industrial Unionism in the Midwest After World War II

Beschreibung

Following World War II, women living in small towns and on farms across the Midwest woke every morning and headed out for a long day of work in a nearby factory. This transition into industrial work caused tremendous change within families and with household roles. These alterations in daily life rippled throughout midwestern culture and society, changing the landscape of small towns into decentralized industrial centers.
