About the Book

In the coldest reaches of northern Minnesota, a group of women endured a shocking degree of sexual harassment, until one found the courage to file the first sexual harassment class action suit in America, permanently changing the legal landscape. When the local iron mine began hiring women in 1975, Lois Jenson, a single mother on welfare, didn't think twice about accepting the grueling but well-paying job. What she hadn't considered was that she was entering a male-dominated society that fiercely resented the inclusion of women, a prejudice born out in the brutal harassment of every female miner. Relentlessly threatened with pornographic graffiti, denigrating language, stalking, and physical assaults, the women largely kept quiet for fear of losing their jobs, until Lois, devastated by the abuse, found the courage to sue--and won. This book was the basis for the acclaimed motion picture North Country starring Charlize Theron.

Review :
"A complex account of justice sought--and won...Detailed but not dense: a sturdy addition to the literature of social justice and contemporary women's issues." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "A suspenseful page-turner...The reader feels a need to know what happens next." -- "Newsday" "Bingham and Gansler have come up with mesmerizing, complex portraits of the participants in a beautifully paced narrative...Impeccable." -- "Washington Post" "Brilliantly reported, documented, and written...Protagonist Lois Jenson, a worker in a Minnesota mine, is the real Erin Brockovich. Her war is not only that of every woman but of every citizen." -- "Bob Woodward, author of All the President's Men" "Courageous...Bingham and Gansler's dogged legal anthropology [shows] you don't need bright-line heroism and villainy to bundle together disparate acts of everyday degradation, name them...and demand justice." -- "New York Observer" "Powerful...top-notch reporting...Class Action is a compelling court saga and an important historical document." -- "Minneapolis Star Tribune" "Riveting and engrossing...A gripping and unforgettable story." -- "San Francisco Chronicle" "Riveting, assiduously well reported...A useful reminder of the emotional and psychological cost of waging even the most successful--and justified--lawsuits." -- "New Yorker" "Tightly written, extensively researched, and well plotted...With the pacing of a novel, [the authors] engage the reader from the outset...Fascinating." -- "Los Angeles Times" Gabrielle de Cuir exerts commendable effort to present the story's extensive background information in an engaging, well-paced manner. She largely succeeds, despite the wordy text...Listeners too will find the emotional impact of this book hard to ignore. -- "AudioFile "
