The Dressmakers' Iliad
Stolberg, Benjamin | May 27, 1925 issue

The article provides information on the book "The Women's Garment Workers," by Louis Levine. The author managed to identify himself sympathetically with the labor movement and then wrote its biography, blending the facts with such imaginative skill that ineluctably they arrange themselves into a cause. The patron of the history was the union itself, which of course means its general executive board. A labor union is primarily a fighting organization and the motive of its research is necessarily more propagandist than "pure." This union is the first to look frankly into the mirror of its own past. And behold, the reward of such courage is an epic of social adventure.
