Lady Gregory, 1900.
Augusta, Lady Gregory (1852-1932) was an Irish dramatist and folklorist. Born into the Anglo-Irish landlord class, Lady Gregory was a major figure in the revival of traditional Irish culture. She co-founded the Irish Literary Theatre and the Abbey Theatre with William Butler Yeats and Edward Martyn. In addition to writing plays for both companies, Lady Gregory produced several books of Irish mythology.
Coole Park, Lady Gregory’s Galway home, served as a meeting place for such as George Bernard Shaw, John Millington Synge, Sean O’Casey, Robert Browning, Lord Tennyson, and Henry James. Today Coole Park is a nature reserve open to visitors.

Labor unions gained strength among Mexican workers during the Great Depression. In 1933 and 1934, the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) was involved in a large strike among the needle trade workers of Los Angeles. They had focused on organizing, not only European immigrant women, but Mexican and Mexican-American women. They published bilingual materials to attract the women and gain support in the Mexican community. The Federal government’s National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) became involved in trying to bring the workers and factory owners together for mediation.
