About this book

Big Annie of Calumet: A True Story of the Industrial Revolution by Stanley, Jerry. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780517700976.

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs. Award-winning author Jerry Stanley tells a true story of the Industrial Revolution and the role women played in the early history of Americas labot unions. Annie Clemenc was the wife of a miner in Michigans Upper Peninsula. When the miners struck in 1913, Annie led them in daily protest demonstrations, only to suffer beatings and imprisonment. But her determination inspired the miners to continue to strike against great odds. Gripping and informative, this is a story that illustrates the experience of the industrial laborers who built modern America.
