"In the 1970's and 1980's, a few women were hired to drive trucks and dig iron ore in northern Minnesota's enormous pit mines. For many, it was their first taste of true economic independence. When some of their male co-workers tried to drive them out with harassment, threats and assaults, the women fought back with the first class-action sexual harassment lawsuit in the country. "No Place For A Woman", a documentary from American RadioWorks, tells the dramatic, moving story of women who broke down barriers in a field wholly dominated by men." [from CD wrapper], 55 minutes
