Fannie Never Flinched: One Woman's Courage in the Struggle for American Labor Union Rights
Fannie Sellins (1872–1919) lived during the Gilded Age of American Industrialization, when the Carnegies and Morgans wore jewels while their laborers wore rags.

Fannie became a union activist, helping to create St. Louis, Missouri, Local 67 of the United Garment Workers of America. She traveled the nation and eventually gave her life, calling for fair wages and decent working and living conditions for workers in both the garment and mining industries.
In Mary C. Farrell's Fannie Never Flinched, Fannie Sellins's accomplishments live on today. This book includes an index, glossary, a timeline of unions in the United States, and endnotes.
