With Babies and Banners: Story of the Women's Emergency Brigade

• 1978 ----- color ----- 45 min ----- 16mm
• The victory of the Great General Motors Sit-Down Strike in Flint, Michigan in 1937 was the key to the success of the C.I.O.'s national drive for industrial unionism. It was the women--the working women, the wives, mothers, sisters and sweethearts of the strikers--who became the backbone of the strike. They called themselves the Women's Emergency Brigade.
