The Girl Who Dared to Defy: Jane Street and the Rebel Maids of Denver

Beschreibung

In the wake of the violent labour disputes in Colorado's two-year Coalfield War, a young woman and single mother resolved in 1916 to change the status quo for â girlsâ , as well-to-do women in Denver referred to their hired help. Her name was Jane Street, and this compelling biography is the first to chronicle her defiant efforts.
