The untold story of Latinas in Construction
Edith Yanez breaks her silence in Latinas in Construction, a book she co-authored with 15 other remarkable women.
Her story began with a single complaint against one person and grew into a years-long fight for one of the most sacred rights of all: the right of women to work with dignity and respect.
The cost has been high—lost opportunities, damaged reputation, financial sacrifice. Yet Edith stands firm in her belief that nothing is more dangerous than silence.
Because silence is complicity.
Silence is why so many women—especially Hispanic women—are pushed out of construction.
Silence forces them to abandon their careers, endure financial hardship, and raise their children in poverty.
