A Mighty Force
Author: Marcia Biederman
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 163388709X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
In the last half of 1945, news of the war’s end and aftermath shared space with reports of a battle on the home front, led by a woman. She was Elizabeth O. Hayes, MD, doctor for a coal company that owned the town of Force, PA, where sewage contaminated the drinking waters, and ambulances sank into muddy unpaved roads while corrupt managers, ensconced in Manhattan high-rises, refused to make improvements. When Hayes resigned to protest intolerable living conditions, 350 miners followed her in strike, shaking the foundation of the town and attracting a national media storm. Press – including women reporters, temporarily assigned to national news desks in wartime – flocked to the small mining town to champion Dr. Hayes’ cause. Slim, blonde, and 33, “Dr. Betty” became the heroine of an environmental drama that captured the nation’s attention, complete with mustache-twirling villains, surprises, setbacks, and a mostly happy ending. News outlets ranging from Business Week to the Daily Worker applauded her guts. Woody Guthrie wrote a song about her. Soldiers followed her progress in the military newspaper Stars and Stripes, flooding her with fan mail. A Philadelphia newspaper recommended Dr. Betty’s prescription to others: “Rx: Get Good and Angry.” President Harry S. Truman referred her grievances to his justice department, which handed her a victory. A Mighty Force is the only book, popular or academic, written about Hayes. Readers interested in feminism, the environment, corporate accountability, and the World War II home front will be excited to discover this engaging, untold episode in women’s history. Fortunately, a fascinated press captured Hayes’s words and deeds in scores of news pieces. Author Marcia Biederman uses these pieces, written by major news outlets and tiny local papers, as well as interviews with descendants, letters written by Hayes’s opponents, union files, court records, an observer’s scrapbook, mining company data, and a journalist’s oral history to tell the story of Dr. Betty and her pursuit of public health for the first time.

One Small Step
Author: Mike Dodd
Publisher: Michael Dodd
ISBN:
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
To those troubled one small step seems like an enormous leap. During difficult times I was encouraged to take small steps through quotations from many sources, some biblical, some from well known public figures, others anonymous. One Small Step began as a personal project to move simple thoughts out of my mind by putting them down on paper. Thoughts stem from quotations that have had an impact in my life. I wish to say in a simple sentence how I perceive them. For many this would be an easy task, but I struggle with English, words don’t flow, they get stuck, they don’t say what I want them to say and often come out sounding rather simple. As a child I struggled with English, I’m pretty sure it was dyslexia (but it didn’t exist in my day). I consequently failed English ‘O’ level at school. Quotations share pages with my photographs. On most pages I attempt to loosely link an image to one of the quotations on the page to aid memory. I spent twenty-five years working overseas. Images stem from the enchanting chaos of Bangkok to the wonderful serenity of the African safari. Quotations are from times past and include Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, Mark Twain and Theodore Roosevelt. Some are Latin Proverbs. Many are from Scripture. The book has a quotation and brief reflection for every day of the year to stimulate reaffirming thoughts at the beginning or end of each day. Alternatively, each month has a different theme to help the reader find quotations for a particular area of concern. Interestingly, old quotations reflect modern life and show today’s struggles are nothing new. These quotations serve as a collective reminder to words we often hear, but which tend to go in one ear and out the other. This book was originally written for my own enjoyment - but, I hope the collective wisdom guides your thoughts and helps you through your difficult time.
