Vivid passages I looked forward to were bland. most of this was the friendship between the three girls and their class differences. The disaster came at the end and should have broken my heart, but I was only sad. I'm glad I got to read it again, though.. ( ) "Uprising" paints a vivid picture of life in New York City in the early 1900s. Three Jewish immigrants and one socialite are the main characters. Page by page their daily lives are described and used as prologue to the issues of union organizing and striking, and the deplorable working conditions in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911. Young readers can gain some insight into the reasons for labor unions and how striking workers can sometimes improve factory working conditions. Issues of women's suffrage are also presented in an anecdotal manner and describe the plight of young women who have no voice and are often deprived of a college education because they are female. The book ends with a twist and is generally able to capture the reader's interest. - Jane M. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
