Traces the personal and public lives of four immigrant women activists who left a lasting imprint on American politics. From an era of rebellion, Orleck charts the rise of a distinctly working-class feminism that fuelled poor women's activism and shaped government labour, tenant, and consumer policies through the early 1950s.
