Pearls Along the Mississippi: An Unsung Labor Hero Gets Her Due

Pearl McGill started working in the button factories as a teenager as a sort of spy for the industry, recruited by her uncle's friend to see if workers were as "shiftless and lazy" as bosses suspected. More likely, many say, was that the company wanted her to report on union organizing activities. McGill was also trying to earn money to study to be a teacher.

Though her job was to report to the button industry power brokers, young Pearl soon found herself sympathizing more with the workers. Soon she was an activist and prominent member of the Women's Trade Union League and the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) helping to organize the button workers and also traveling around the heartland and the east coast to make speeches and play a key role in the famous textile workers strikes of 1912.
