pr727 's review for:
The Women of the Copper Country
by Mary Doria Russell
I appreciate that the author based most of the main characters on the lives of the people in this difficult story. Be sure to read the author’s notes in which she explains where she fictionalized some characters and events. The control the remote mine owners and the local manager had over the workers, their housing and sources for groceries and goods are typical of the worst of big business in that era; difficult to read but accurate. Strong characters sacrifice and some gain positive changes for themselves and eventually the union movement.
