About
The revelatory history of the American labor movement, from independent journalist and Teen Vogue labor columnist Kim Kelly, now in a “rousing…passionate” ( Kirkus Reviews ) young readers edition. The history of American labor is full of incredible leaders, organizers, and workers, but not all of them have gotten the recognition they deserve. People like… Rosina Tucker, a Black woman who helped railroad workers organize the first Black-led labor union in America, Maria Moreno, an Indigenous and Mexican woman who fought for farmworkers in the fields of California, Ah Quon McElrath, a Chinese Hawaiian woman who united the laborers of the vast sugarcane plantations, Ben Fletcher, a Black dockworker who organized a strong, interracial union that ran the ports of Philadelphia, Judy Heumann, a disabled Jewish schoolteacher who became the mother of the Disability Rights Movement…and many more.

“Just the young adult or young readers edition of my book just came out. It's called Fight to Win for ages like eight and up. It's really cute, very diverse, inclusive, all these things that Bill Eichmann does not like in book form for your young rebels and radicals.”
