Abstract:
In May 1902, tens of thousands of Jewish housewives on the Lower East Side poured into the streets to protest a jump in the price of kosher meat from 12 to 18 cents a pound. Food prices were often a source of contention for Jewish immigrant communities in New York. The May 1902 boycott highlighted the ability of Jewish women to organize and coordinate a movement throughout the boroughs.
