The Locket

The Locket: Surviving the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire by Suzanne Lieurance J LIE—Galena is 11-years-old and works in the Triangle Shirtwaist factory. Working conditions are very poor because they are not unionized, but she and her sister work to help their family. When a terrible fire breaks out, Galena survives, but her older sister does not. Galena then feels she must begin fighting for improved working conditions in New York City factories.
