The Other Women's Movement: Workplace Justice and Social Rights in Modern America. By Dorothy Sue Cobble. (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2004. xvi, 315 pp. $29.95, ISBN 0-691-06993-X.)

After World War II, feminism seemed moribund, but Dorothy Sue Cobble recovers the work of "labor feminists"—union leaders and staffers, both black and white—who, she argues, constituted the dominant wing of feminism. Their advocacy produced fruit in the early 1960s, such as the extension of the Fair Labor Standards Act to the majority of women and minority workers, federally funded child care for low-income women, and the Equal Pay Act of 1963. By explaining their perspectives, objectives, and activities, Cobble gives labor feminists their due while she clarifies why 1960s feminists saw them as anachronisms.
