The Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry

The Bryn Mawr Summer School for Women Workers in Industry was a program established in 1921 to provide education and leadership training for working-class women. It aimed to empower women involved in industry by offering courses in labor rights, education, and culture, fostering their personal growth and ability to advocate for better working conditions. Held at Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, the program promoted social justice and gender equality, encouraging women workers to become informed and active participants in their communities and workplaces. It played a significant role in advancing women’s rights and labor movements during the early 20th century.
