About
When Lois Jenson, a single mother on welfare, accepted a job at the local iron mine in 1975, she hadn't considered that she would be entering a male-dominated society that would fiercely resist the inclusion of women. This prejudice was born out in the relentless, brutal harassment of every female miner, until Lois, devastated by the abuse, found the courage to sue the company. This is the thrilling true story of how one woman pioneered and won the first sexual harassment class action suit in the United States.

Reviews
"Brilliantly reported, documented, and written…Protagonist Lois Jenson, a worker in a Minnesota mine, is the real Erin Brockovich. Her war is not only that of every woman but of every citizen."
Bob Woodward
"Tightly written, extensively researched, and well plotted…With the pacing of a novel, [the authors] engage the reader from the outset…Fascinating."
Los Angeles Times
"Courageous…Bingham and Gansler's dogged legal anthropology [shows] you don't need bright-line heroism and villainy to bundle together disparate acts of everyday degradation, name them…and demand justice."
