Description:Here is an alternative history of an impossibly troubled society. The writing is clear, incisive, sometimes brilliant-and often heartbreaking. The diversity these stories represent in terms of interests, socio-economic conditions, personality, life experiences and mission, are what transport their stories to the larger context of women's 20th century urban life. From the early champions of women and children caught up in the dirty secret of domestic violence fed by economic uncertainty and alcoholism; to the founders of the first women's labor unions; to the first female doctor in Butte and the early nursing pioneers, the Sisters of Charity and the Cadet Nurses; to the ethnic women's clubs and early female entrepreneurs and reformers; there is plenty to appeal to and inform the many interests. Motherlode addresses the value of women's work, the interplay of love and justice, feminine wit, wisdom, and visions of possibility, intergenerational ties and influences, and the power of women as makers of change. It resonates with the stories of women's lives across a country and a century.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
