Monthly Program - Army of Amazons (Monthly Programs)
7:00 pm to 8:30 pm Hybrid Program - Attend in person (at TSCPL), or online with Zoom
Presenter and Program Topic: Army of Amazons: Women's Fight for Labor Rights in Kansas Coalfields, presented by Linda Knoll
In December 1921, thousands of women in southeast Kansas rose up to fight injustice in the area coalfields. These women were immigrants from Eastern European nations as well as Kansas born. After a months-ling strike by the coalminers, the women joined the cause. In the short term, their efforts crippled mine production for nearly a month; in the longer term, their continued activism impacted future statewide elections and national legislation. This talk will share the stories of these women, christened the "Amazon Army" by The New York Times, and their fight for democracy and labor rights in Kansas's coalfields.
This program is sponsored by the Humanities Kansas Speakers' Bureau.
Monthly programs are free, and open to the public. Feel free to invite others who might be interested!
This program will be produced in hybrid format - attend in person (at the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library), or register to be sent a zoom link for virtual participation.
