A weekly radio program featuring audio from the Pacifica Radio Archives. This week on From The Vault we present Part 2 of a 3-part series called Coal Country Women, which documented the live of Appalacian women in the 1970 s as wives and mothers of miners, as miners themselves, and on life in mining country.
Part 2: "Occupation Coal Miner" about women miners in Appalachia, who share their problems and their triumphs and talk about experiences ranging from job discrimination, sexual harassment, and workplace dangers, to the ongoing struggle to balance family responsibility and the demands of rotating shift work in the mines.
