Description
The year is 1902. The Lower East Side is alight with the protests of thousands of Jewish women who, facing a kosher meat price hike harmful to their families, take matters into their own hands. They boycott butchers and march in the streets, opposing their own community’s shop owners. How were women asserting rights as consumers before they had rights as citizens? How does this event help us understand the American Dream for immigrant women? How did the Kosher Meat Boycott inspire future generations and movements?
