- Today is International Women's Day, and Daniel speaks with Dartmouth College history professor Annelise Orleck about her new book, "Common Sense and a Little Fire," which addresses American women's struggle for workers' rights in this century. In the interview, Ms. Orleck describes the fight of women garment workers at the turn of the century. We also hear readings from the papers of women involved in the struggle.
