With Babies and Banners

"...a moving presentation of network building and support systems forty years ago. Marvelous, newly empowered women, developing confidence and pride, emerge as role models to serve as inspiration for us all."
–American Association of University Women

MORE ABOUT THE FILM

The victory of the Great General Motors Sit-Down Strike in Flint, Michigan, in 1937 was the key to the success of the CIO's drive for industrial unionism. The now classic With Babies And Banners presents the untold story of the women--the working women, wives, mothers and sisters--who became the backbone of the strike. Forty years later, nine of these women reunite and dramatically show the relevance of their experience for working men and women today.

Produced by Lorraine W. Gray with Lyn Goldfarb and Ann Bohlen. For more information about With Babies And Banners, please visit www.womenhistory.info.
