Synopsis

Frozen by Fire is a history in verse of the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire of 1911 and its aftermath. The story spans more than a century, beginning with working conditions in New York's garment industry. It describes the events leading up to the fire and the fire itself, the effect of the fire on the country, and the boost it gave to labor organizers and advocates for women's rights. The fire's victims were almost all teenage girls, Jewish and Italian immigrants or their children. The story, rich in detail, is centered on accounts by survivors of the fire drawn from primary sources. The Public Broadcasting System has documented the fire as part of its American Experience series. It has been shown a number of times since 2014, most recently in January 2021.
