United Apart takes an unconventional approach to what appears to be a familiar topic. By looking at cross-gender strikes nationally with an eye for region, gender, race, ethnicity, and family, Ileen A. DeVault not only revises earlier studies but also adds rich new material. She has sifted through a mountain of detail and created a complex yet crystal clear picture that every labor historian must now engage. Superb! Patricia Cooper, author of Once A Cigar Maker: Men, Women and Work Culture in American Cigar Factories, 1900 1919

In United Apart strikes become the means to interrogate larger questions. Ileen A. DeVault has written a tour de force that innovates in its form as well as its analysis. She closely reconstructs strikes in both the industrial center and periphery during this key period of economic transformation and illuminates the connections among forms of collective action and identities based on skill, gender, race/ethnicity, and family. -Eileen Boris, University of California, Santa Barbara
