Barbara Kingsolver discusses her book "Holding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983"

First broadcast on September 17, 1990. Since no men were allowed to
picket against the Phelps Dodge Corp., Mexican American women
showed up and according to Kingsolver’s book, “Holding the Line,”
the picket lines were a brand new experience for the women. Some of
the women had to get their husbands’ permission to picket. The
group of women found their lives transformed not only with their
cause but with new bonds of friendship from the other women.
