"sisters in the brotherhood" book
This is a wonderful book by Jane Latour.
she details the stories of individual women who became the first of their gender in trades like plumbing, firefighter, building.
the struggles with the unions and co-workers,
and how they formed groups to support each other and
fought for legislative remedies.
a great read.
