Food Zheng – Reflection 7

I was very surprised to read this week’s article “Virginia Just Became the 38th State to Pass the Equal Rights Amendment. Here’s What to Know About the History of the ERA” because despite knowing what the women’s suffrage movement was, I did not know much about this march on equal rights. I was also very surprised to learn that the first ratification failed and how the women did not lose hope to try again and take their rights again. In the same way, the videos about “The Triangle Shirt Waist” surprised me and at the same time it sounded very familiar to me, I’m not sure if I had heard what happened in class or something, but I also remember that my teacher had told me about the fire It started with the same manager who was smoking at that time and since there was not very good ventilation and there was also no option to go outside to smoke, he had the audacity to do it in the middle of the place, which caused not the fire, this is not a 100% certified data but it could have been an option at the time. As well as it could have been some machine that caused the fire or things like that. What made me very angry was the fact that there were 4 elevators but only one worked. It was very sad to know that all those women died due to the same ignorance that existed in their time, for not having rights, for not having given them a better environment and not treating them as human beings.
