Labor Journalism, Labor FeminismWomen at the Federated Press\nAuthor(s): Victoria Grieve\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: University of Illinois Press, United States\nImprint: University of Illinois Press\nISBN-13: 9780252089305, 978-0252089305\nSynopsis\nFounded in 1919, the Federated Press (FP) collected, compiled, and distributed news to America's labor and radical newspapers. Victoria M. Grieve focuses on the lives and work of four correspondents and staffers Jessie Lloyd, Julia Ruuttila, Virginia Gardner, and Miriam Kolkin to examine the impact of women at the FP and across the labor movement.\n\nThese journalists wrote women into labor news by shedding light on essential issues like the need for equal pay and an end to discrimination. Their work increased women's visibility in unions and the workforce while revealing that not only class but gender and race shaped their on-the-job experiences. Grieve also examines labor feminism within the larger stories of links between the Old.
