This is the 3 page writing assignment. I would like to focus on minority women workers. Choose one of the following types of worker (minority workers, unionized workers, or women) and trace their gains and losses throughout the second half of the 20th century. What role did the federal government play in advancing or limiting their economic gains? What about workers who fall into more than one “type”?
Answer these questions in 2-3 pages (750-1000 words).
