They are often portrayed as lovable underdogs, with their songs and cartoons, generally irreverent attitude, and stalwart courage in the face of systemic persecution from vigilantes, law enforcement, and government officials. In Beyond the Rebel Girl, historian Heather Mayer questions the well-worn vision of Wobblies as young, single, male, itinerant workers. While such workers formed a large portion of the membership, they weren't the whole picture. In small towns across the Northwest, and in the larger cities of Seattle, Portland, and Spokane, women played an integral role in Wobbly life. Single women, but also families--husband and wife Wobbly teams--played important roles in some of the biggest fights for justice. IWW halls in these Northwest cities often functioned as community centers, with family-friendly events and entertainment. Women were drawn to the IWW for its radical vision, inclusionary policies, birth control advocacy, and emphasis on freedom of choice in marriage. The IWW also offered women an avenue for activism that wasn't focused primarily on the fight for suffrage. Beyond the Rebel Girl deepens our understanding of how the IWW functioned and how the union supported women in their fight for birth control, sexual emancipation, and better labor conditions, all while facing persecution at the local, state, and federal levels"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "A history of Pacific Northwest women's roles in the Industrial Workers of the World organization between 1905 and 1924"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 185-191) and index. 610 20 $a Industrial Workers of the World $x History $y 20th century. 610 27 $a Industrial Workers of the World. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00545991 650 0 $a Women $z Northwest, Pacific $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Women $x History $z Northwest, Pacific $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / Labor & Industrial Relations. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a SOCIAL SCIENCE / Women's Studies. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / State & Local / Pacific Northwest (OR, WA). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Women. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01176568 650 7 $a Women $x Political activity. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01734136 651 7 $a Pacific Northwest. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242543 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211022359.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20181003011913.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B824D49EC6D111E8B1BC915097128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
