I once My name is Bill Manion, and I worked for Henry Dropkin at the Clothing Worker’s Union (ACTWU) as a lawyer and staff member. He was very proud of his mother’s literary accomplishments, but very private about her as well.  Recently I found the book “Found Treasures: Stories by Yiddish Women Writers,” which contains a short story by Celia Dropkin. This is the first of her works I’ve read, and she was very much a feminist, and I could see her passion and her and her husband’s thirst for justice.
