She decided to dedicate her life to fight against this inhumanity. Her ambition to be a doctor is put on hold while she strike and fights women’s equality. The long hours of working in the sweatshop are replaced with rallies, strikes, and even a period of time spent in jail. Despite being violently battered by men 3 times her size and then detained, Clara managed to persevere through it all. Clara describes the brutality of the gorillas by saying “‘Stand fast girls! I shout.’ That is all I can get out before I am driven to my knees by a fist on the gut. I am gasping to draw a single breath- I do not even feel the blows to my chin and cheek all I can think is ‘I can not breath’.” (pg.343) Without courageous women to fight for our rights like Clara who knows what our world would be like
