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.
