"An inspiring film about three magnificent women. This is the best film on labor history I have ever seen. I plan to show it again and again."
Howard Zinn

"Union Maids is the most energizing, exhilarating labor organizing movie imaginable. For the first time I could see for myself there really is 'joy in the struggle!'"
Alice Walker
