Summary:
"Tells the story of eight unassuming, apolitical women in America's heartland - Willmar, Minnesota - who were driven by sex discrimination at work to take the most unexpected step of their lives and found themselves in the forefront of the struggle for women's rights. Risking jobs, friends, family and the opposition of church and community, they began the longest bank strike in American history in a dramatic attempt to assert their own equality and self-worth"--Container.
