I have had a deep interest in the immigrants that worked in the sweatshops in NY, as my grandmother was a Russian immigrant at age 15. She was a piece maker near the Triangle Shirtwaist factory & witnessed the horrific Triangle fire on March 25, 1911. The labor conditions were horrendous, especially for women & the protests paved the way for unions & much needed changes for the textile industry workers who were mostly young immigrant women of Italian, Irish & Russian descent. I am fascinated by Rose Schneiderman’s accomplishments & passion for changing the lives of so many people. I would like to pursue a story about her life & adapt it to a screenplay.
Who can I contact regarding this matter? Thank you.
