Pathfinder Press. Feminism Lives!
[New York: Pathfinder Press, ca. 1969.]
Offset lithographic poster depicting a well-known photograph from the 1910 May Day Parade in New York (creasing and chips to edges, a few closed tears and one large tear repaired with tape to verso, minor stains, thumbtack punch holes at corners, toning); 22 x 17 in.
From 1909 to 1910 the International Ladies Garment Workers Union strike served as one of the first major waves of revolt against unfair wages and restricted work hours in the garment industry. More than 20,000 women in New York City, many from Jewish and immigrant backgrounds, participated in the strike, which finally ended with the workers winning many of their demands. This May Day photograph represents a moment of triumph and solidarity for women workers, used by Pathfinder Press to reanimate the feminist movement in the latter part of the 20th century. Pathfinder Press, the publishing branch of Pathfinder Tendency, is a consortium of historically Trotskyist organizations who often cooperate with the Socialist Workers Party of the United States.
