Book Synopsis
Frager has been able to gain access to original records that shed new light on an important chapter in Canadian ethnic, labour, and women's history.

Trade Review
'Frager's book benefits from a careful mining of Yiddish-language sources, particularly Yiddish newspapers, which provide unparalleled glimpses into the inner-life of the immigrant Jewish community.' -- American Jewish History 'This book provides a thoroughly documented and fascinating analysis of a pivotal period in the history of Canada's labour movement and of Canadian jewry. It should be of interest to a wide audience of readers.' -- Evelyn Kallen Studies in Religion 'A fascinating account of Jewish working-class activism and the relations between Jews across gender and class lines in the Toronto garment industry.' -- Sonya O. Rose Signs 'Vigorously written, masterfully researched... a story at once full of hope and despair, a courage of cowardice and ultimately a triumph.' -- Irving Abella
