Profiles the real-life stories if more than sixty women who have no college education, are married with kids, and ears an average of USD16,000 per year, giving us an important window into a large, poorly understood segment of US society.

First published in 2002. Jennifer Johnson profiles the real-life stories of more than sixty women who have no college education, are married with kids, and earn an average of $16,000 per year, giving us an important window into a large, poorly understood segment of our society. Through the words of these women, Johnson captures the essence of women''s working-class experience: from job stagnation, low self-esteem, and social isolation to camaraderie among coworkers, loyalty to one''s roots, and even pride in a job well done. This compassionately told book offers a captivating and emotional study of the difference class makes in women''s lives, as well as the problems, restrictions, and rewards common to all women.
