"The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire" by Elaine Landau explores the tragic events of March 25, 1911, when a devastating fire swept through the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City. As flames engulfed the building, workers, primarily young immigrant women, found themselves trapped due to insufficient safety measures and locked exits. The catastrophe resulted in the deaths of 146 people and ignited public outrage, leading to significant reforms in labor laws and workplace safety standards. Landau’s account emphasizes the human stories behind the tragedy and highlights the ongoing struggle for workers' rights and safety in the industrial age.
