flesh and blood so cheap: the triangle fire and its legacy by albert marrin
The book is about a specific tragedy in history. On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City burst into flames. The factory was crowded. The doors were locked to ensure workers stay inside. One hundred forty-six people—mostly women—perished-it was one of the most lethal workplace fires in American history until September 11, 2001. Much of the story reflects on the lives of immigrants during this era.
