Massachusetts Women's Trade Union League

The Massachusetts Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) was an organization founded in 1903 to support women workers' rights. It aimed to improve working conditions, secure fair wages, and promote union membership among women in industries like textiles and garment manufacturing. The WTUL combined efforts from both working-class women and middle-class allies, advocating for social and economic justice. It played a key role in labor reforms, including child labor laws and better workplace safety, helping to empower women workers and advance their economic independence.
