The Top 11 Labor History Landmarks in New York City is a blog series on Jewesses with Attitude created in honor of Women's History Month and the 100th anniversary of the Triangle Waist Factory fire. Learn more about the series here, or check out JWA's online walking tour.

The first of the Top 11 Labor History Landmarks in New York City is the Forward building.

Completed in 1912, this impressive ten-story building was home to the offices of the Forverts, the Yiddish-language daily founded in 1897. Once one of the most widely circulated Jewish papers in the world, its socialist editors were known for their pro-labor coverage of issues of concern to the immigrant Jewish community of New York.
