SLSA Board Member Jessie Wilkerson's book, To Live Here, You Have to Fight: How Women Led Appalachian Movements for Social Justice, is now available from the University of Illinois Press.  Described as, "Inspiring yet sobering," To Live Here, You Have to Fight "reveals Appalachian women as the indomitable caregivers of a region--and overlooked actors in the movements that defined their time." Read a recent review of the book in the Pacific Standard, listen to an interview with Jessie on BYY Radio's Top of the Mind, and stay tuned to Working History for a forthcoming episode about the book.
