Provides a study of the women associated with the Industrial Workers of the World in the states of Oregon and Washington, from the time of the union's founding in 1905 until 1924. The union offered women an avenue for activism that did not focus primarily on the fight for suffrage. While female Wobblies were in favour of suffrage, they believed that organization in the workplace was the only way to true emancipation.
