Synopsis
This book is a fascinating look at the working conditions of garment workers in Chicago, during the tumultuous events of the smallpox epidemic of 1894. By carefully studying the role of factory inspectors during a deadly disease outbreak, the author uncovers the government’s failure to provide proper protection for its citizens. At its core, this book is a poignant look at the erosion of public health, when tenement housing became synonymous with sweatshops and the pursuit of profit became horrifyingly lethal.
