Description
Inspiring yet sobering, it reveals Appalachian women as the indomitable caregivers of a region, and overlooked actors in the movements that defined their time. Their insistence that caregiving was valuable labor clashed with entrenched attitudes and rising criticisms of welfare. Their persistence brought them into unlikely coalitions to fight for causes that ranged from poor people's rights to community health to unionization.
