Description

Fannie Sellins (1872-1919) lived during the Gilded Age of American Industrialisation, when the Carnegies and Morgans wore jewels while their labourers wore rags. Fannie dreamed that America could achieve its ideals of equality and justice for all, and she sacrificed her life to help that dream come true.

Fannie became a union activist, helping to create St. Louis, Missouri, Local 67 of the United Garment Workers of America. She travelled the nation and eventually gave her life, calling for fair wages and decent working and living conditions for workers in both the garment and mining industries. Her accomplishments live on today.

Fannie Never Flinched includes an index, glossary, a timeline of unions in the United States, and endnotes.
