The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory, was a clothing manufacturer, located on the lower east side of Manhattan, that employed a large number of immigrant women workers. The building had not been built in a way that allowed for a quick exit, if the need arose. As a result, when a fire broke out in the factory, the women were trapped and many perished in the fire.
