We began today's lesson continuing our discussion about labor reform. We read about the Shirt Company and the fire which killed nearly 150 workers who were locked inside by the company to prevent theft - and how and why they were mostly women. This proved to be a good segue to a discussion of women's rights, suffrage, and some notable figures, such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and "Mother Jones" We will explore the achievements of these women in tomorrow's session. We ended our session reviewing the nineteenth amendment, noting that although it gave women the right to vote, it failed to protect the rights of Black, Indigenous, and Asian women. Ben offered his thoughts freely and empathetically about the subject.
