After viewing the film and reading the article by Baker (Baker-Women and Men in the Salt of the Earth Strike-CH11.pdf), respond to the following prompt: Ellen Baker wrote that the miners’ wives proved an “ability to imagine, contemplate, and eventually insist upon playing an active and ultimately transformative role in the Empire Zinc strike” (226).  In what ways did the women strikers subvert traditional gender roles? While some of the women’s actions may have threatened male authority, in which ways, if any, did their actions conform to traditional gender roles?

Incorporate at least two assigned sources (such as the article by Baker, the film, and/or the lecture) from this week into your response; be sure to cite appropriately. Your response should be at least 300 words.
