Our latest podcast episode is out now! Historian Joey DeFrancesco tells the story of the first factory strike in US history, when in 1824, young women and girls working in the mills in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, organised themselves and walked out, winning better conditions. We also talk about how the growth of capitalism in the north was dependent on enslaved labour in the south. With early access for our patreon supporters: https://workingclasshistory.com/2019/08/12/e28-the-pawtucket-mill-strike/ https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1186620261523122/?type=3
