Brave Girl - Clara and thE Shirtwaist Maker's Strike of 1909 by Michelle Markel

A picture book biography of Clara Lemlich and her fight for worker's rights in the early 1900's.  I find this time period fascinating and am amazed at the strength and persistence of immigrants like Clara who arrived in America determined to succeed amidst many obstacles. So many lessons to be learned from this account of Clara's life and the beginnings of rights for workers! Girl power! Love it.
