1869, the Cornell University Press Podcast

This episode we interview poet, author, visual artist, oral historian, and policy analyst Susan Eisenberg. Susan was among the first women in the country to become a journey-level electrician in union construction, and for four decades she has endeavored to understand, frame, convey and advance issues of tradeswomen. Her Cornell books include two published this year - the 20th anniversary edition of her book We’ll Call You If We Need You: Experiences of Women Working Construction, and the poetry collection entitled Stanley’s Girl. She is also the author of the 1998 collection of poetry - Pioneering: Poems from the Construction Site. We spoke with Susan about her upcoming workshop and book signing at the Women Build Nations conference in Seattle Washington this October 12th-14th as well as her new online exhibition ON EQUAL TERMS: GENDER AND SOLIDARITY - https://onequalter.ms/
