In "Daughters of Saint Crispin," I explore the 19th-century female shoemakers of the labor union "Daughters of Saint Crispin." The shoemakers' lodge was linked with the Great Massachusetts Shoe strike of 1860. The alliance formed by the shoemakers was one of the earliest female trade unions. The sisterhood organized, marched, and protested, seeking equal pay as their male counterparts, who were paid triple what the women earned for the exact same work. The union was named after Saints Crispin and Crispian, who were Roman brothers and shoemakers in the 3rd Century A.D. who, under the orders of Diocletian, were beheaded on or around November 8, 288 A.D., Saints Crispin and Crispian were the patron saints of shoemakers and cobblers.
