Another solid entry in the #dearamerica series. This one explores a lesser known part of American history - the largest labor strike led by American women in the early 1900s. It ends immediately after the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, but that wasn't the primary focus of the book. Younger readers will need some guidance on this one due to the traumatic events narrated. Overall highly recommended. Read for #bookspinbingo. @TheAromaofBooks
