From the publisher
From the jacket flap
"At last here is a book that links women and mining across time and place. In this lively and original collection we cross continents, enter many types of mines, explore male and female responses to women miners, and see how women from mining communities in many different parts of the world have met challenges. These riveting stories and reflections help our understanding of the intricacies of gender relations and reveal the value of international and comparative history. They speak volumes about the bravery, persistence, and networks of mining women, whether facing exclusion, superstition, sexism, or big business. This book too mines a rich seam."--Angela V. John, Honorary Professor of History, University of Wales, Aberystwyth, and author of "By The Sweat of Their Brow: Women Workers at Victorian Coal Mines" ""Mining Women" mines the historic and global variety of women's participation in an industry commonly thought of as a masculine preserve. Spanning the mining industries of Asia, Africa, Europe, and the Americas from the 17th century to the present, "Mining Women "is a rich source for histories of women and gender, class and labor, mining and economic development. This transnational treasure challenges essentialist concepts of women's work, options, or possibilities to reveal rich and complex patterns of gender, activism, and resistance."--Elizabeth Jameson, Imperial Oil & Lincoln McKay Chair in American Studies, University of Calgary, and author of "All That Glitters: Class, Conflict, and Community in Cripple Creek"
