After spending this month discussing billionaires and grifters, Mrs. Pearlmania's research eye turned to the laborers of the Gilded Age and their quest to enshrine the 40 hour work week into law. Spoiler alert! It took DECADES to make 8 hours the norm for American workers.

This free wheeling history on the 8 hour work day has it all, Noble Knights, class wars, dark turns, betrayals, and candid talk about how you are worth a lot more than you are being paid. IT'S TOO MANY TABS!
