"Meridel Le Sueur, Barbara Smith, Nellie Wong, Judy Grahn, and
Sharon Doubiago are among the writers who range through speeches,
songs, poetry, essays, and fiction in this moving anthology." --Ms.
Magazine "Powerful in their dailiness, and full of memory,
frustration, endurance, and occasionally a softer emotion, these
affecting selections deserve a wide audience." --Feminist Bookstore
News "The range of voices raised and experiences represented
throughout the book is expansive and liberating, as is the
inclusion of any number of unforgettable works by lesser-known
writers." --VLS "Ambitious, eclectic, historically wide-ranging. .
. . The multicultural (primarily American) contents range from
pieces by Agnes Smedley and Mother Jones to contemporary activist
storytellers such as Marge Piercy. . . . The authors . . . write
proudly and gratefully about the benefits of working-class life . .
. a brave anthology, a very welcome addition to the workbench, the
kitchen table, and the bookcase." --Women's Review of Books "Rich .
. . archival and popular." --Belles Lettres "Their voices . . .
form a chorus that speaks for the majority of women in the United
States. They are writers whose theme is the working-class woman,
and the ethnic, racial and geographic diversity of the
working-class experience." --San Francisco Examiner "Zandy's
anthology . . . helps us better understand who 'we' are and how
many of us have been missing from the stories our culture teaches
and learns." --The Literary Review "A powerful and uncompromising
collection of essays, stories, poems, and oral histories, and more,
reflecting the history and personal experiences of working-class
women in America." --Booklist "What diversity . . . The works
reveal a complexity of working-class experience intricately linked
like pieces in a giant jigsaw puzzle." --New Directions for Women
