Ida Braiman

Ida Braiman (died February 5, 1913) (sometimes spelled Brayman, Breiman, or Braeman) was a Ukrainian Jewish garment worker killed while on strike for better working conditions in Rochester, New York.

On February 5, 1913, she was part of a group of strikers going to small textile factories encouraging workers their to join the strike.

[3] The strikers, a crowd of some seven hundred people, picketed a tailor shop owned by Valentine Sauter.

When picketers began to throw stones, Valentine Sauter used a shotgun to fire into the crowd, killing Braiman and injuring three others.

[2] The memorial card that was distributed after her death was adopted by the women's liberation movement of the 1970s as a symbol of feminist history, and reprinted as a poster by the Times Change Press in New York City.
