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.

An urgent appeal for your support: 6 Days to raise $38,000
Truthout relies on individual donations to publish independent journalism, free from political and corporate influence. In fact, we’re almost entirely funded by readers like you.
Unfortunately, donations are down. At a moment when independent journalism is urgently needed, we are struggling to meet our operational costs due to increasing political censorship.
Truthout may end this month in the red without additional help, so we’ve launched a fundraiser. We have 6 days to hit our $38,000 goal. Please make a tax-deductible one-time or monthly donation if you can.
