Brave Girl: Clara and the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike of 1909 by Michelle Markel
3.0
Read for Librarian Book Group
A picture book that takes us into the early 20th century advocating for better factory conditions through the eyes of a brave girl. Though I felt that there was no solid sense of time (how much does Clara age over the progress of the book?) I thought this was a good introduction to factories and the labor struggle. The illustrations were interesting, using textiles as well as other media to tell the story.
