Bonnie starts off Working Women month with a cautionary tale of the horrors of the workplace. On Saturday, March 25, 1911, a fire broke out in Manhattan. The tall building with unsafe conditions created a deadly industrial disaster. Taking the lives of 146 people, most of them women, inspired protests to create safer work conditions for all.
