Abstract

"In the United Kingdom, there is a thriving and profitable literary marketplace for "clogs and shawls" fiction. Books in the genre are typically written by women for middle-class women old enough to remember what life was like during the eras in which many clogs and shawls plots are set. The story arc of any given example is essentially the same, putting different names to formulaic tales of English rural or industrial poverty, wartime hardships, lost or unrequited love, and, ultimately, triumph over adversity. Ann Chamberlin's family memoir "Clogs and Shawls" is therefore appropriately titled. Chamberlin's story is a true to life example of clogs and shawls fiction. It tells of Chamberlin's Mormon grandmother and her seven sisters from Yorkshire, England. The sisters shared a remarkable capacity to endure hard lives with pride, and imbued in their daughters and granddaughters an understanding of self-sacrifice and the value of family. Chamberlin's mother immigrated from England to Salt Lake City, a move that Chamberlin details with an engaging and thoughtful mixture of clever humor, touching pathos, and a tolerance for mistakes, a kind of storytelling Chamberlin shines on her own life in the last part of the manuscript"--

Abstract

A life touched by tragedy and deprivation--childhood in her native Ireland ending with the potato famine, immigration to Canada and then to the United States, marriage followed by the deaths of her husband and four children from yellow fever, and the destruction of her dressmaking business in the great Chicago fire of 1871--forged the stalwart labor organizer Mary Harris ""Mother"" Jones into a force to be reckoned with. Radicalized in a brutal era of repeated violence against hard-working men and women, Mother Jones crisscrossed the country to demand higher wages and safer working condition.

Abstract

In March 1913, labor agitator Mary Harris ""Mother"" Jones and forty-seven other civilians were tried by a military court on charges of murder and conspiracy to murder -- charges stemming from violence that erupted during the long coal miners' strike in the Paint Creek and Cabin Creek areas of Kanawha County, West Virginia. Immediately after the trial, some of the convicted defendants received conditional pardons, but Mother Jones and eleven others remained in custody until early May.This arrest and conviction came in the latter years of Mother Jones's long career as a labor agitator.
