The Diary of a Shirtwaist Striker is a first-hand account of the Shirtwaist Makers' Strike that took place in New York City in 1910. The book is written by Theresa Serber Malkiel, a young Jewish immigrant who worked in the garment industry and was a participant in the strike. The strike was led by women workers who were fighting for better working conditions, higher wages, and the right to unionize. Malkiel's diary provides a detailed and personal account of the strike, including the daily struggles of the workers, the tactics used by the employers to break the strike, and the solidarity and support shown by the community. The book also includes historical context and analysis of the garment industry and labor movement in the early 20th century. The Diary of a Shirtwaist Striker is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of labor rights and social justice in the United States.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1910 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
