- ... that historian Anne Balay wrote two books on oral histories from LGBT steelworkers and truck drivers? Source: "In Steel Closets, Anne Balay draws on oral history interviews with forty gay, lesbian, and transgender steelworkers, mostly living in northwestern Indiana, to give voice to this previously silent and invisible population." / "Gritty, inspiring, and often devastating oral histories of gay, transsexual, and minority truck drivers allow award-winning author Anne Balay to shed new light on the harsh realities of truckers' lives behind the wheel."
- ALT1: ... that historian Anne Balay, who wrote a book on oral histories of LGBT and Black truck drivers, had also spent some time working as one?
