Book Overview
The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory was a sweatshop in New York City. On March 25, 1911, a fire broke out and quickly spread, feeding off the fabric used to make the shirtwaists and the poorly designed wooden frame building. When it was over, the fire took the lives of 146 employees and exposed the neglect and irresponsibility of the company's owners. The horror of the fire would pave the way for reform for poor immigrant workers. Through eyewitness accounts and newspaper photos and illustrations, the book brings to life the terrible scene inside the building as the blaze raced from floor to floor.
