The New York State Labor History Association is proud to announce that the 2008 Barbara Wertheimer Prize has been awarded to Genna Braverman for her essay Historical Struggles: The Evolution of Gender, Race, and Organizing at Yale-New Haven Hospital. Using oral interviews and the relevant secondary sources, Ms. Braverman has written a theoretically sophisticated essay that traces the as yet largely unfulfilled efforts (except for food service) to organize the hospital.
