Adult Book Club: The Women of the Copper Country
Read along with neighbors as Voices and Votes: Democracy in America comes to the Prindle Institute. The Adult Book Club discusses The Women of the Copper Country by Mary Doria Russell, a novel about ordinary people who stood up and spoke out.
About the Book
Based on a true story, the novel follows Annie Clements, a union organizer who helps lead the 1913 copper miners’ strike in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. When workers demand a voice, the mine owners push back, and the community has to decide where it stands.
Who gets heard when the stakes are high? What does it cost to speak up? Come ready to share what you think, and to listen to what others do.
