Daughter of the Hills: A Woman’s Part in the Coalminer’s Struggle

This powerful account of family life and labor conflicts is told through the eyes of a tough, resilient Appalachian woman who is, according to Richard Wright, one of the most impressive proletarian characters in our literature. Page (1897-1994) exposes the economic conditions of the working class and the scarcity of opportunities for working-class women, but also tells the story of a loving marriage that endures despite severe hardships.
