In May of 1986, a young woman of 25, Amy Farrell heard about lucrative jobs on a construction project in the High Sierras of California. Recovering from injuries after being trampled by a horse she was shoeing, out of work and desperate to pay her bills, she joined the International Laborers' Union of North America. Pulling on work boots and cramming a hardhat on over her long hair, she left the safe and comfortable world she had known behind her. The men hated her the first minute they saw her, not because of who she was or how she worked but because of what was (or wasn't) between her legs. For them it was a package deal: If you didn't have the package, no deal. Living in mountain man-camps, sleeping in the back of her truck, and traveling hundreds of miles for work, Amy spent the next eleven years chasing the big construction jobs across the state. Facing harassment, sexual intimidation and physical attacks, she literally had to fight for the right to work. Having forced her way into the strange and mysterious world of No Woman's Land, filled with tough, hard, and dangerous men, she had to become just as tough, hard, and dangerous as they were. Adventures In No Woman's Land, More War Stories of a Female Construction Worker, is Amy's second memoir and follows Into No Woman's Land, War Stories of a Female Construction Worker.
V.1 the war of the words. V.2 sexchanges.
The "absorbing and powerful" (Wall Street Journal) story of two pioneering suffragette doctors who shattered social expectations and transformed modern medicine during World War I. A month after war broke out in 1914, doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson set out for Paris, where they opened a hospital in a luxury hotel and treated hundreds of casualties plucked from France's battlefields. Although, prior to the war and the Spanish flu, female doctors were restricted to treating women and children, Flora and Louisa's work was so successful that the British Army asked them to set up a hospital in the heart of London. Nicknamed the Suffragettes' Hospital, Endell Street soon became known for its lifesaving treatments. In No Man's Land, Wendy Moore illuminates this turbulent moment of global war and pandemic when women were, for the first time, allowed to operate on men. Their fortitude and brilliance serve as powerful reminders of what women can achieve against all odds.
