Upon graduating from a public school in Johnson City in 1972, Moore pursued higher education at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.","While taking a gap year from Duke University, she worked as a reporter for the Johnson City Press-Chronicle where she reported on the Black Mountain Mine Co. Scotia No. 1 mine explosions, which killed 26 people in Oven Fork, Kentucky in 1976. Upon returning to Duke University, she reported for The Durham Sun.","After graduating in 1977 with a degree in English, Moore moved to Mingo County, West Virginia, where she worked as a reporter for the Sandy New Era and continued to investigate issues related to coal mining. In 1979, Moore worked as a miner at U.S. Steel #20 mine in Thacker, West Virginia.","After attending the December 1979 United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) Conference in Denver, Colorado, Moore became active with the Coal Employment Project (CEP) and the Coal Mining Women's Support Team (CWST). Both organizations were formed in 1978 out of individuals from the East Tennessee Research Corporation with the intent to recruit and support women working in coal mining. \nShe began formally working for the CEP in late 1980-1981 after several months of contributing to their newsletter, the Coal Mining Women's Support Team News! and volunteering with their training programs in Kentucky.","While working for CEP she assisted in developing the Coal Mining Women calendar and a booklet on sexual harassment, as well as continuing her contributions to Coal Mining Women's Support Team News! and conducting oral histories with women miners.","From 1983 to 1994, she worked for the UMWA in Washington, D.C. where she continued her advocacy for women miners and her journalistic investigations into mining issues. While working for the UMWA, she met and married her husband, Steve Linder. In 1994, both Moore and Linder were fired from their jobs at the UMWA. In 1998, Moore won the legal case challenging the firing. She later worked for the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.","In 1996, Moore published her first book Women in the Mines: Stories of Life and Work which was a culmination of her years documenting and interviewing women miners. Moore's long-time work with the CEP came to an end when the organization shuttered in 1998 after many years of layoffs.","As of 2026 July, Moore lives in Tennessee with her husband, Steve Linder.","This collection contains materials collected and created by Jean L. \"Marat\" Moore while working and volunteering with the Coal Employment Project (CEP) and Coal Mining Women's Support Team (CWST) between 1980 and 1998, and a reunion in 2013.

He lived for almost fifty years in the community of Helen, in Raleigh County.","He joined the Marine Corps in 1939 and was decorated for his service on Guadalcanal and in other South Pacific battles.

He remained in contact with many of his Marine Corps friends and with every branch of his large extended family and included many of their memories in writing about his life and times.
