Rose Schneiderman, 6th April 1882 – 11th August 1972

Picture
Rose Schneiderman was a Polish Jew who immigrated to America as a child in 1890. Her father died two years later leaving the family in poverty.

Schneiderman started her working life in a department store but there was more money to be made in factory work so she became a cap stitcher.  In 1903, at just 21, she was a co-founder of the United Cloth Hat and Cap Makers’ Union.

Schneiderman was known as a powerful orator and a talented organiser.
