On the morning of Tuesday 21 March 1911, 12 women went on strike at the Singer Manufacturing Company in Bridgeton, followed by 10,000 other women and men. This was a brave move against the international company (which also operated in Russia, the US and Germany) and brought the sewing machine plant to a standstill. www.open.edu/openlearn/society-…actory-strike-1911
