What event in 1911 brought more public attention to the plight of women workers?

The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in New York City in March 1911 brought significant public attention to the plight of women workers. The tragic event claimed the lives of 146 workers, primarily young immigrant women, due to unsafe working conditions and locked exits.
