Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire
New York City’s Tringle Shirtwaist Factory fire that took 146 lives brought attention to events leading to fire. It inspired hundredths of activists across the country to fight to change workers rights. It highlighted inhumane working conditions and epitomized the extremes of industrialism.
I think Rose Schneiderman was one of the most determined activist who supported changes in worker’s rights regulation, as well as female rights movement. Among others she cooperated with E. Roosevelt, F. Perkins and R. Wagner.
