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