SYNOPSIS:
It all began with Immigrant Women and Girls. The item was known as "The Shirt Waist" - Shirts for women worn separately - just like Men. A new dawn of independence that first manifested in cloth. Remnants of which would later ignite a fire consuming the very people who ignited a movement. One Hundred Seven years have passed and the Fire rages on. This is a tale of two Sisters wrestling within the flames of the very inequality and dehumanization that has haunted women since the first scrap sparked from a Foreman tossed cigarette. Just like those young Women and Girls of old, when facing the flames of the discarded, the two Sisters must decide their fate with a simple choice - quick or slow.
