Interesting, because it is the first time i am learning the name "Fannia Cohn"... we studied the Triangle Shirtwaist factory tragedy as students, but we never learned the stories of the women themselves (though we can all be forever grateful to them for the rights we have as workers today!)...... amazing when you think of the courage of these young women ("foreigners" in this country) struggling for what they believed was right! ... an inspiration for us all to do whatever we can, however "small" or "insignificant" it may seem at the time!
