I'm a history junky and this gave me my fix. The story of Clara Lemlich is truly an amazing one, how one girl fought so hard to better the lives of workers, and eventually, succeeded. 

I waned between being a fan of the style in this book and not loving it. Clara talks about a love for poetry, so the poetic nature of the book is smart but sometimes hard to follow. It creates a pace that I sometimes couldn't keep up with.

A great read for anyone interested in worker's rights, women's rights, labor unions, etc.

The poetry in this book was so beautiful, and it really added something extra. I learned a lot, and I really felt a lot for Clara. Such an amazing book, written about a topic that is interesting, and still appears in the world today.
