Holding the Line
(1996)Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983
A non fiction book by Barbara Kingsolver
Novelist Barbara Kingsolver began her writing career with "Holding the Line". It is the story of how women's lives were transformed by an 18-month strike against the Phelps-Dodge Copper Corporation. Set in the small mining towns of Arizona, the story is partly oral history and partly social criticism, exploring the process of empowerment which occurs when people work together as a community.
