''Blewett challenges historians to incorporate gender analysis and a tradition of working women's protest into the history of the American labor movement.''-- Georgia Historical Quarterly ''[Blewett's] detailed reconstruction of feminist perspectives in shoeworker protest and the divisions created by the competing loyalties to sisterhood and to working-class families is among the best available. . . . With works like this, it should be impossible to write about the American working class without including women.''-- Historical Journal of Massachusetts ''A highly stimulating and rewarding book.''-- Journal of Interdisciplinary History
