Description

Encouraged by the women’s movement of the early 1970s, a group of women workers (and a couple of men) started what would grow to be a fifteen-year struggle to organize workforce employees at Harvard. The women persisted within the face of patronizing and sexist attitudes of university administrators and leaders of their very own national unions. Unconscionably long legal delays foiled their efforts. But they developed innovative organizing methods that merged feminist values with demands for union representation and a means of influencing place of business decisions. John Hoerr tells this story from the points of view of both Harvard administrators and union organizers. With peculiar get admission to to its meetings, leaders, and files, he examines the unique culture of a female-led union from the inside. Photographs add to the affect of this dramatic narrative.
