In her 1894 speech "The Modern Lear," delivered before the Chicago Women’s Club and the 20th Century Club of Boston, Jane Addams examines critical labor issues, including the Pullman Railroad Strike, using Shakespeare’s King Lear as a powerful analogy for betrayal and ethics in the workforce. This address offers valuable insights into the history of workers’ rights and strike action in the United States. Museum Audiobooks presents this unabridged historical text, reflecting a variety of perspectives from its era.
