Men, Women, and Work: Class, Gender, and Protest in the New England Shoe Industry, 1780-1910

          "Blewett challenges historians to incorporate gender analysis and         a tradition of working women's protest into the history of the American         labor movement."         -- Georgia Historical Quarterly       "[Blewett's] detailed reconstruction of feminist perspectives in         shoeworker protest and the divisions created by the competing loyalties         to sisterhood and to working-class families is among the best available.         . . . With works like this, it should be impossible to write about the         American working class without including women."         -- Historical Journal of Massachusetts       "A highly stimulating and rewarding book."         -- Journal of Interdisciplinary History
