Subject: Lyr Req: songs about women- sewing factories&hospi
Hi everyone,

I'm searching for songs about women who worked in sewing factories. The historical period I'm most interested in is around 1920, but older stuff will certainly do. Songs from the U.S. are better for the program we've been asked to do, but I'm not going to be too picky. I do have the "Jute Mill Song," which I could adapt, but it would be nice to get a little closer to the theme. Songs about women working in sweat shops, factories, etc., might also work. I'm also looking for songs that might relate to a character who founded the local hospital at about the same time.

Thanks very much!

Beth
