Review Quotes
Daily News-Miner
“(Williams) shares the stories of more than a dozen women who walked the same path. The result is a book that lends readers a sense of what it was like to be there during the most tumultuous cultural and economic shift in the state’s history, from the perspective of those who were making their own history, even if they weren’t particularly aware of it at the time.”
The Village View
“Gives an insider's glimpse of working as a woman in Alaska's oil-fields during the TransAlaska Pipeline days in the 1970s, ’80s, and beyond. . . . This was a unique time in American labor history, creating a modern pioneer woman.”
Alaska History
"Carla Williams documents the experiences of fourteen women who worked in nontraditional jobs on the North Slope of Alaska from the early 1960s through 2015."
