- Summary
- This autobiography details the life of Daisy Hurst (Mrs. J. Borden) Harriman, a wealthy New York woman who worked diligently for issues concerning working-class women. Harriman was one of the women who lent her financial support to the shirtwaist workers' strike in 1909. In addition, with Mrs. Oliver H.P. Belmont and Miss Anne Morgan, she helped organize a strike meeting of the WTUL at the Colony Club, the first women's social club in New York City, which she also helped organize. In 1912, she was named by Woodrow Wilson to serve on the Federal Industrial Relations Commission.
