     This Hartwick Classic Film Leadership Case® characterizes the leadership skills of a New York male labor organizer and a southern female textile factory worker.  Both characters exhibit leadership qualities, one in particular the ability to empower others to accomplish the overall goal of organizing a group of powerless textile factory workers.  Students observe as each empowers the other, and focus on the techniques each use to accomplish this all-important leadership task. 
In addition, students are given the opportunity to contrast the effects of an authoritarian leadership style and democratic leadership style.  But perhaps the most important element in this case is the opportunity it provides to watch a woman of thirty-one achieve her full potential.
