When we froze and bled on the picket line
We showed the world that women could fight,
And we rose and we won with women's might.
Hail! the waistmakers of the nineteen nine,
Making their stand on the picket line,
Breaking the power of those who reign,
Pointing the way, smashing the chain.
(p. 152)
Informative, describing the factory and daily life of shirtwaist makers and the women that joined together to improve their lives, including rich and college women, not just those that suffered. ( )
