This was a look at labor in America, mainly the clothing industry in New York, filled by young immigrant women and children. The Triangle Fire with it's large loss of life was a wake-up call to the horrible conditions these people were forced to work in for a mere pittance. Many of the safety measures we enjoy now in the workplace came about because of the fallout from this tragedy. This book was really informative and well-written. The pictures really added to the book.
