Event #150
In early 1900s New York, rising kosher meat prices led Jewish immigrant women to organize a boycott, involving thousands of participants. This protest was a significant stand against economic exploitation and demonstrated community solidarity. Despite its socio-economic and political impact, the boycott is largely absent from mainstream U.S. historical narratives and is mainly documented in specialist or ethnic history texts.
