Winner Description: 
by Joan Dash. Scholastic.
Winner Blurb: 

The woman's factory strike of 1909 is the story of thousands of young women (most of whom were below 18 years of age) who fought a sexist and dangerous labor system in a time before women had the right to vote. This history book has a lot within its pages that speaks to modern readers, and Dash does so with a fluid and lyrical style. The pictures that accompany the written text allow readers to put faces to the names Dash mentions, and they give readers a "bird's eye" view of the abysmal conditions in the factories the striking workers endured for only pennies an hour compensation. Dash has highlighted an important event in U.S. labor history and has made history entertaining and interesting in the process.
