Fire at the Triangle Factory

A gripping account of the 1911 Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City—one of the deadliest industrial disasters in American history. This book examines the tragic event that claimed 146 lives, mostly young immigrant women, and explores the factory conditions, safety failures, and human stories behind the tragedy. Through vivid narrative and historical detail, it illuminates the labor movement, workers' rights, and the systemic inequalities that made such catastrophes possible. Essential reading for understanding early 20th-century American labor history and the fight for workplace safety.
