Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 by Michelle Markel

5.0

A couple of years ago I found out about the Triangle Shirtwaist Co fire and the labor movement of the time. This book tells the story of Clara Lemlich, one of the leaders of the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU), one of the organizations responsible for many of the labor laws we benefit from today.
