But to the eighteen West Virginia women Carol Giesen interviewed for this book, hard times are just everyday life. These coal miners' wives, ranging in age from late teens to eighty-five, tell of a way of life dominated by coal mining -- and shadowed by a constant fear of death or injury to a loved one. From birth to old age, they experience the social and economic pressures of the coal mining industry. Few families in these communities earn their living in any job outside a coal. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Coal miners' spouses|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh86001359|zWest Virginia.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79059831-781 650 0 Women|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85147274 |zWest Virginia|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n79059831-781|xSocial conditions.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2001008850 650 7 Coal miners' spouses.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 865353 650 7 Women.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1176568 650 7 Social conditions.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1919811 650 7 Women.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001509 650 7 Womyn.|2homoit|0https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0001516 651 7 West Virginia.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1205316 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGiesen, Carol A.B.|tCoal Miners' Wives : Portraits of Endurance.|dLexington : The University Press of Kentucky, ©2015|z9780813119038 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=938242|zOnline eBook.
