Journal Entry 1 by La-Quimera from Villa Ballester, Buenos Aires Province Argentina on Sunday, December 16, 2012
In 2000 I visited NYC with my elder brother. He told me that he was interested in taking a look to the place where the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory used to be till the big fire that killed many working girls involved in claiming for labour rights. He told me that their deaths were remembered every March 8th when we say that it's the Women Day. I didn't know that. We looked for the address at Washington place, we asked about to a policewoman, who, rudely, said she had no idea where that address was. We finally found it less than 3 blocks from where we had asked, what resulted in a very bad impression about the policewoman. There was a bronze plaque remembering the fire.
Since then I got interested in knowing more about those facts and two years ago I knew about this novel. I finally got it through Better World Books.
It's not a deep look, but very interesting and easy to read -even when English is not my language-. The author worked a lot specially the fire chapter, with great succeess, I felt as being there.

Thanks :-)

Great book (but so sad)! It was interesting to read about working conditions for women in 1911

Some time ago I thought this could be an interesting book for my friend Claudia, who lives in London. As she visited Buenos Aires, I had the opportunity to give it to her in person. I hope she likes it.
