Esther Eggertsen Peterson (1906 - 1997) (1325 words) |
 | Esther Peterson was a trailblazer—as a woman and an advocate for workers’ rights. |
| Peterson’s real education began one evening when most of her students at the YWCA didn't come to class because they were on strike. |
| Peterson didn't want to be treated differently and announced, “Please don’t stand up for me. I don’t intend to stand up for you.” Because she was new, they assigned her to a new representative from Boston, John F. Kennedy, who—everyone thought at the time—“won’t amount to much” anyway. |
