Sadie Frowne was a 13 year old Polish immigrant. Her family also wisjed for the American dream. She worked in a sweatshop making skirts. She was quoted with these words "I was new at the work and the foreman scolded me a great deal.... I did not know at first that you must not look around and talk, and I made many mistakes with my sewing, so that I was often called a 'stupid animal.' ... The machines go like mad all day, because the faster you work, the more money you get. Sometimes in my haste I get my finger caught and the needle goes right through it. It goes so quick, tho(ugh), that it does not hurt much.... We all have accidents like that...."
