Abstract:
Labor strife during the pre-Depression era was celebrated by contemporary artists through literature, song, and plays. While not as preserved or remembered as literature and song, plays are an important artistic medium for remembering labor strife such as the 1929 Loray Mill Strike in Gastonia, NC. Script details for two such plays, Strike! and Strike Song have recently surfaced as current interest has increased.

Abstract:
During the 1920s and 1930s, women played a major role in the labor struggles that plagued America. Women were factory workers, mothers, community members, and activists who sacrificed much to provide a better future for their families. During the 1990s, a movement to recover their stories and achievements from the past was conducted by scholars who brought to light four novels written by women regarding the Gastonia Mill Strike of 1929.
