Join us in December for "Continually Working: Black Women, Community Intellectualism, and Economic Justice in Postwar Milwaukee" by Crystal Marie Moten. "Continually Working" tells the stories of Black working women who resisted employment inequality in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from the 1940s to the 1970s. The book explores the job-related activism of Black Midwestern working women and uncovers the political and intellectual strategies they used to critique and resist employment discrimination, dismantle unjust structures, and transform their lives and the lives of those in their community.
Moten is a public historian, curator, and writer who focuses on the intersection of race, class, and gender to uncover the hidden histories of Black people in the Midwest.
Copies of the book are available for purchase at Boswell Book Co. and online.
