In this fascinating portrait of Jewish immigrant wage earners,
Susan A. Glenn weaves together several strands of social history to
show the emergence of an ethnic version of what early
twentieth-century Americans called the "New Womanhood." She
maintains that during an era when Americans perceived women as
temporary workers interested ultimately in marriage and motherhood,
these young Jewish women turned the garment industry upside down
with a wave of militant strikes and shop-floor activism and helped
build the two major clothing workers' unions.
