The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire, Part 1
Update: 2021-12-16
Description
On a warm spring day in 1911, a fire broke out at the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York. Within minutes it engulfed the top three stories of the factory building. 146 people died in the blaze; 123 of them young women who worked there. It was one of the worst industrial disasters in the United States.
The fire and its aftermath would transform US politics and shape the growing labor movement for decades. But to really understand the events of 1911, we need to go back two years and tell a much larger story than that of a single factory.
