Thesis

The Triangle Factory Fire brought reform to workplace safety, thereby giving laborers more rights and holding employers more accountable.
“It was not...a woman's fancy that drove them to it, but an eruption of a long-smoldering volcano, an overflow of suffering, abuse and exhaustion.” 
― Theresa S. Malkiel, The Diary of a Shirtwaist Striker: Public Monuments and Modern Poets
