lauraabrahamsen 's review for:
The Women of the Copper Country
by Mary Doria Russell
Russell does a great job of setting a somewhat obscure labor struggle on the copper mines of the UP of Michigan into the larger context of the economic, social, and political movements of the pre-WWI era. She hangs the story on vivid characters, mostly historical, some fictional. Serendipitously, I recently attended the 99th birthday party of a Finn whose parents were active in the labor movement, so the real historical connection still lives.
