Strike!: the Radical Insurrections of Ellen Dawson

Very little has been written about the background of pre-World War II labor leaders, especially of working-class women. This book fills in the gaps by tracing the history of Ellen Dawson through Scotland, England, and the United States. Anyone interested in labor history or women's history will find this book of great use.--Daniel Lee Georgianna, University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth.
