Binding: Hardcover
Women's unknown but important contribution working on the
railroads is explored in this eye-opening account by
award-winning author Nancy Smiler Levinson. She has written the
book in collaboration with Shirley Burman, a photographer and
foremost expert on the subject of women railroad workers. Tracing
their rise from domestic service jobs in the mid-1830s to
positions vacated when men went off to fight in two world wars,
the book shows how women overcame prejudice to take their place
on the railroad workforce. They have served in all capacities,
including telegraph operators, architects, yardmasters, welders,
nurse/attendants, brakemen, locomotive engineers, and even
company president. Featured are many profiles and interviews of
these ground-breaking pioneers as well as photographs and
artifacts from Shirley Burman's extensive collection.
