Synopsis

Love And Labor is written with so much love for life, human beings, and the written word, that it never feels laborious. The pages and years fly by-from the Depression and sexual revolution of the 30s, through WWII, to the present. Doris Murphy is, of course, at the heart of this memoir, but she shares her story with Joe Murphy, the love of her life, a legend who helped change the course of labor history.-Jonah Raskin, author of American Scream: Allen Ginsberg's 'Howl' and Making of the Beat Generation.An engaging, frank story of an independent young woman's explorations with life and romance culminating in her marrying an equally independent labor leader. There's a rich lode of 20th century cultural history here and a wonderful picture of San Francisco in the 30s, 40s and 50s. What a time to have been young!-Robin Beeman, author of The Lost Art of DesireIn a crisp, authoritative and compassionate voice, Doris Murphy records California labor history and her private loves as well. Love And Labor deserves a place in history and writing classes in every high school and college in America.-Chester Aaron, author of Symptoms of Terminal Passion.
