This video examines the role of women in the workforce as the economy of eastern Kentucky moves away from dependence on the coal industry. Thousands of miners have lost their jobs in the past decade, and women are increasingly relied upon as the main economic providers for their families. In this film, a cashier, an office assistant, a nurse, and a cake designer discuss their jobs, their families, and the personal sacrifices they have endured.
