For that information; I think people should read this book. I thought the union battles had been fought in the late 1800's and early 1900's. This took place in 1983. However; I found it to be repetitive and there were too many people involved to keep their experiences clear.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Holding the Line deserves a better e-book editBy World TravelerHolding the Line: Women in the Great Arizona Mine Strike of 1983 by Barbara Kingsolver is too important a piece of American labor history to be reproduced with glaring typographical errors on almost every page. It looks as if the print version was digitalized by a scanner with the hiccups and sometimes it is hard to tell just how a sentence should read. Kingsolver is a first-rate writer and the story she tells is compelling. Especially at a time when labor unions are losing their membership and their voice to protect the health and safety and the livelihood of U.S. workers; this story deserves a better treatment.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. So-so account of sad eventBy LFirst of all the Kindle version is ridiculously poorly edited. I've never seen such a poor product put to market honestly.The account in the story had some redeeming elements in it; especially the aspects of how tough the women in the story were. However it was very union-biased and didn't quit tell a true account of both sides. Had it been more balanced I might have given it 3 stars.
