The inspiring true story of Clara Lemlich, a young immigrant girl who led the biggest strike of women workers in U.S. history

This post has been updated with my new format as of January 26, 2016with the Ultimate Book Blogger Plugin.

This is about a strike about the cruel treatment women faced in the clothing factories. Many of them were young children, not payed well (even sometimes docked or fined money), working conditions were cruel. Despite this Clara worked hard in the factory, worked hard on her education, and worked hard on the strike for better worker conditions. Does a very good job with the information, illustrations, and has a reference page and more info in the back. ~Ashley
