Part of the Series
Ladydrawers
This installment of “Our Fashion Year,” our year-long investigation into gender, labor and cultural production, looks at the frustrating similarities faced by apparel workers in factories all over the world. It’s our first with Ellen Lindner, who will also illustrate the next two strips, tracing the economic opportunities available to women outside of the garment industry.
Don’t miss the previous in the series, “Fast Fashion,” “Let’s Go Shopping” and “The Business of Thrift” with Julia Gfrörer, and “Zoned,” “Red Tape” and “Outta Sight (Out of Mind)” with Melissa Mendes, or the full archive of our previous three years of strips. Next month, we’ll visit an anti-trafficking organization. We know you won’t want to miss it.

The future of independent journalism is uncertain, and the consequences of losing it are too grave to ignore. To ensure Truthout remains safe, strong, and free, we need to raise $29,000 in the next 36 hours. Every dollar raised goes directly toward the costs of producing news you can trust.
