The multicultural (primarily American) contents range from pieces by Agnes Smedley and Mother Jones to contemporary activist storytellers such as Marge Piercy. . . . The authors . . . write proudly and gratefully about the benefits of working-class life . . . a brave anthology, a very welcome addition to the workbench, the kitchen table, and the bookcase." --Women's Review of Books
"Rich . . . archival and popular." --Belles Lettres
"Their voices . . . form a chorus that speaks for the majority of women in the United States. They are writers whose theme is the working-class woman, and the ethnic, racial and geographic diversity of the working-class experience." --San Francisco Examiner
"Zandy's anthology . . . helps us better understand who 'we' are and how many of us have been missing from the stories our culture teaches and learns." --The Literary Review
"A powerful and uncompromising collection of essays, stories, poems, and oral histories, and more, reflecting the history and personal experiences of working-class women in America." --Booklist
"What diversity! . . . The works reveal a complexity of working-class experience intricately linked like pieces in a giant jigsaw puzzle." --New Directions for Women
