“Sisterhood, Solidarity and the Work of Spirit: Lessons from the Women Coal Miners Movement”

Women miners changed the often stereotyped narrative of coal mining, coal miners, mine safety, race relations, and the gendered workplace. But their impact went far beyond mine portals. This movement was women-run, beginning with the lawyer who sued 153 coal companies, organized women miners around the country, and opened doors unimaginable to their UMWA brothers. Marat Moore shares with us on this interesting and important piece of history.
