In 1933, she was instrumental in organizing garment workers in Los Angeles (many of whom were Mexican immigrants), and her success led to her appointment as vice-president of the union, a post she held from 1934 to 1944, when she resigned from its executive board because she didn't want to be the token woman on the board when women made up 85% of the organization's membership. ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
