Re-Becca: 1909
March 1909. A trio of Hartford, Connecticut, newsies. "Have been selling two years. Youngest, Yedda Welled, is 11 years old. Next, Rebecca Cohen, is 12. Next, Rebecca Kirwin, is 14." Glass negative by Lewis Wickes Hine for the National Child Labor Committee. View full size.
Mean Girls
But not like Lindsay Lohan in the movie. More like the countless females of this, and many other eras whose lives would consist of hard work, few opportunities, and financial struggle.
Birds of a feather flock together
But are they? Hartford had more than one paper, so we can't say for certain if they're comrades, or competitors.
The Labor Committee seems to have made a specialty of "newsies", presumably because (1) they were plentiful , and (2) you didn't get thrown out of a factory for photographing them.
