Not Automatic: Women and the Left in the Forging of the Auto Workers' Union

Through firsthand accounts, this compelling nonfiction book examines the early struggles that shaped the United Auto Workers (UAW) and the determination required to secure workers' rights.

Sol Dollinger recounts the political battles, organizing efforts, and internal disagreements that influenced the union's formation. Genora Johnson Dollinger, a prominent figure in the historic 1937 Flint sit-down strike, shares her experiences through an oral history conducted by Susan Rosenthal.

Together, their stories highlight the contributions of women, left-wing activists, and ordinary workers whose courage helped challenge powerful automobile manufacturers.

Offering an engaging look at labour history, political organizing, and social justice, Not Automatic is an important read for anyone interested in trade unions, women's history, workers' movements, and the fight for workplace equality.
