It chronicles the rise of working class women's activism and the critical role they played in the watershed events of Britain's Great Miner's Strike of 1984-85 and the U.S. miner's strike against Pittston Coal Company in 1989, two of the most significant labor conflicts in the post-war era. The documentary features community economist Helen Lewis, the Reverend Jesse Jackson, women miners from the Coal Employment Project, women from Britain's Women Against Pit Closures and the National Union Of Miners' Arthur Scargill.
