<br />
Discusses the labor movement of the 1910s. Topics includes:<br />
<br />
* The treatment of immigrant workers in factories, who were very grateful to find jobs in America.<br />
* Why many factory workers resorted to striking, including the fact that they were hoping to get their jobs back after the strike was over.<br />
* The mistreatment of teenage girls and women in factories which lead many of them, including Bessie Abramowitz, to fight for newer changes.<br />
* How [[Wikipedia:Clara Lemlich|Clara Lemlich]]'s 1909-1910 strike, which involved 10,000 women and girls, led to their winning higher wages and shorter hours.<br />
* How the [[Wikipedia:Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire|Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911]] helped in improving working conditions for factory workers, and how long it would take until all Americans have today's labor standard.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
<br />
* ''Changes for Rebecca'' is the second Historical Character book that addresses labor issues in the early 20th century, after ''[[Samantha Learns a Lesson]]''; however, unlike Samantha's book, Rebecca's family is directly affected and the conditions are not merely related to her; the book also covers more details. <br />
