Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in which 145 female workers were killed. Children were hired to work in factories, milles, and mines for long hours in unsafe and unhealthy conditions. Though efforts to pass a federal law proved unsuccessful, by the middle of this decade every state had
passed a minimum age law. A commission found that up to 20% of the children living in cities were undernourished,
education took second place to hunger and while children worked, only one-third enrolled in elementary school and less than 10% graduated from high school. The

suffrage parade was held in 1910 - the
19th amendment finally ratified in 1919. "
