AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A factory-girl marries her employer. Seven years later during a strike she speaks to them independently outside the factory, urging them to hold out a little longer and win rights for themselves and other workers. The platform collapses and crushes her, but her husband promises on her deathbed to meet their demands. (PB/JG)
