...proved during a foray into Pennsylvania coal country in search of women miners. Joining a 4 p.m.-to-midnight shift near Johnstown, Bergen rode 800 ft. into the earth for a work session with her subjects. Her enterprise was not universally approved. "When I returned the next day, the foreman met me at the entrance and said the men had threatened to strike if I went back down," said Candice.

It is this kind of worker participation that Mao's clique hoped...
