Talks with several women who were single heads of households, and who found work in steel mills in the 1970s. They tell about their new job security, independence, and the role of unions in the workplace. Although most of the women were laid off as mills closed in the 1980s, they now actively demonstrate for employment opportunities, as well as continually support their families
Four former female steelworkers describe their struggle to obtain their jobs, the discrimination that they encountered on the job, the decline of the places which employed them, and their subsequent lives once the mills had closed. Three western Pennsylvania women--Pat Turnell, Sherrie Ortallono, and Sheryl Johnson--are interviewed
