Great Michigan Read 2021-22
The Women of the Copper Country
by Mary Doria Russell

One title, one state, thousands engaged in literary discussion.
Presented by the Michigan Humanities Council.

From the bestselling and award-winning author of The Sparrow comes “historical fiction that feels uncomfortably relevant today” (Kirkus Reviews) about “America’s Joan of Arc”—the courageous woman who started a rebellion by leading a strike against the largest copper mining company in the world.
