Title
Radicals of the Worst Sort : Laboring Women in Lawrence, Massachusetts, 1860-1912
Description
New England women's labor history text from a professor of American and New England studies at the University of Southern Maine. Focuses on Lawrence, Massachusetts, as a town with a diversity of worker and ethnic experience, and the relationship between this and gender at the beginning of the twentieth century in industrial America. From the publisher's website: "Ardis Cameron focuses on the textile workers' strikes of 1882 and 1912 in this examination of class and gender formation as drawn from the experience and language of the working-class neighborhoods of Lawrence [Mass.]. She shows clearly that the working women who unionized and fought for equality were considered the 'worst sort' because they challenged both economic and sexual hierarchies, providing alternative models for turn-of-the-century women."
