About this listen
November 22, 1909. A 23-year-old Ukrainian immigrant with six broken ribs stands up in Cooper Union Hall and says thirteen words in Yiddish that spark the largest women's strike in American history. Clara Lemlich was blacklisted, beaten, and arrested seventeen times—but she organized 20,000 garment workers to walk off their jobs and win. Then history erased her. This is the story of the girl who changed labor rights in America and the uncomfortable reason we forgot her name.
A pinch of salt to hold what lasts,
A tale to carry what time forgets.
