Description

For a brief period in America’s industrial economy, factory workers were encouraged to share their thoughts and feelings in a literary journal. Take a peak at this moment in labor and women’s history, when Yankee farm girls and new immigrants dreamed of better lives, financial independence, beautiful literature, and hats! This FREE event takes place at the Sequoias (a retirement facility), top floor, 1400 Geary Blvd.,just west of Gough. Sign in at lobby and come to penthouse meeting room.
