Download or read book Maidin Iron written by Ana Padilla and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-04 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Maidin Iron" is the true story of the first woman to work as a union ironworker in New Mexico in the 1970s and 1980s. Ana Padilla tells of her struggle and ultimate success in breaking into this male-dominated trade, confronting union bosses, supervisors, and coworkers. Many thought that a woman couldn't handle the tough and dangerous job of being an ironworker, welding and bolting steel frames of multistory buildings. One false step could lead to sudden death. This scrappy young woman used humor, courage, good manners, and a strong work ethic to make her case that she could do everything just as well as her male coworkers. Although small of stature, she proved herself over and over again, on one job site after another, hauling equipment and working many stories in the air on steel girders, expecting no special treatment while facing harsh weather and dangers. Padilla conveys her Hispanic roots in New Mexico and the sense of a place and time when people held onto views of women that now seem outdated and sexist. She does this without bitterness. The reader meets other men and women-Hispanic, Anglo, Native American, and African American, many from New Mexico, some from elsewhere-who rolled up their sleeves, faced the challenges at each work site, and got the job done. We get a vivid feel for their personalities and of what it was like to work with them. We learn about the ironworkers' trade and also of how Padilla reinvented herself after a first marriage that was less than happy, found the man of her dreams, married him, and built a life with him that has lasted to this day. This is an inspiring tale that conveys the value of time-tested virtues of hard work, courage, and persistence in the face of adversity.
Book Synopsis Mastering Iron by : Anne Kelly Knowles
Download or read book Mastering Iron written by Anne Kelly Knowles and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2013-01-15 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Veins of iron run deep in the history of America. Iron making began almost as soon as European settlement, with the establishment of the first ironworks in colonial Massachusetts. Yet it was Great Britain that became the Atlantic world’s dominant low-cost, high-volume producer of iron, a position it retained throughout the nineteenth century. It was not until after the Civil War that American iron producers began to match the scale and efficiency of the British iron industry. In Mastering Iron, Anne Kelly Knowles argues that the prolonged development of the US iron industry was largely due to geographical problems the British did not face. Pairing exhaustive manuscript research with analysis of a detailed geospatial database that she built of the industry, Knowles reconstructs the American iron industry in unprecedented depth, from locating hundreds of iron companies in their social and environmental contexts to explaining workplace culture and social relations between workers and managers. She demonstrates how ironworks in Alabama, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Virginia struggled to replicate British technologies but, in the attempt, brought about changes in the American industry that set the stage for the subsequent age of steel. Richly illustrated with dozens of original maps and period art work, all in full color, Mastering Iron sheds new light on American ambitions and highlights the challenges a young nation faced as it grappled with its geographic conditions.

Book Synopsis Building the Golden Gate Bridge by : Harvey Schwartz
Download or read book Building the Golden Gate Bridge written by Harvey Schwartz and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2015-09-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Silver Award Winner, 2016 Nautilus Book Award in Young Adult (YA) Non-Fiction Moving beyond the familiar accounts of politics and the achievements of celebrity engineers and designers, Building the Golden Gate Bridge is the first book to primarily feature the voices of the workers themselves. This is the story of survivors who vividly recall the hardships, hazards, and victories of constructing the landmark span during the Great Depression. Labor historian Harvey Schwartz has compiled oral histories of nine workers who helped build the celebrated bridge. Their powerful recollections chronicle the technical details of construction, the grueling physical conditions they endured, the small pleasures they enjoyed, and the gruesome accidents some workers suffered. The result is an evocation of working-class life and culture in a bygone era. Most of the bridge builders were men of European descent, many of them the sons of immigrants. Schwartz also interviewed women: two nurses who cared for the injured and tolerated their antics, the wife of one 1930s builder, and an African American ironworker who toiled on the bridge in later years. These powerful stories are accompanied by stunning photographs of the bridge under construction. An homage to both the American worker and the quintessential San Francisco landmark, Building the Golden Gate Bridge expands our understanding of Depression-era labor and California history and makes a unique contribution to the literature of this iconic span.
