A Stitch in Time: St. Louis Garment and Labor History
Rosemary Feurer
Rosemary Feurer, associate professor at Northern Illinois University, shares the history of labor in the St. Louis garment industry. From its early days as a low-wage alternative to New York and Chicago, to its post-World War II decline, Feurer recounts the story if this once-thriving local industry through the stories of the workers themselves.
