Great Lakes/Great Books is a monthly discussion group of books that have the Great Lakes as setting or subject matter. All are welcome, whether or not you have read the book. No registration is required.

This month's selection is  The Women of the Copper County  by Mary Doria Russell.

Annie Clements has spent her whole life in the mining town of Calumet, Michigan, where men risk their lives for meager salaries and women labor in the houses of the elite. When she decides to stand up for the entire town, nearly everyone believes she may have taken on more than she is prepared to handle. This novel is an authentic and moving portrait of the lives of those involved in the early labor movement.
