Karen Pastorello's pathbreaking biography of Bessie Abramowitz
Hillman places this remarkable labor leader and Progressive Era
activist at the center of the founding of the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers of America. Bridging the gap between Progressive social
feminism and the labor feminists of the post-World War II period,
Hillman worked to end race and class injustice and improve the
quality of life for working women, even as she was overshadowed by
her husband, union leader Sidney Hillman. Interweaving Hillman's
experiences as an Eastern European Jewish immigrant with a rich
historical account of the founding and development of a key garment
union, Pastorello reveals the prominent role of women labor
activists in both the workplace and union leadership.
