Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book documents the history of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union, a philanthropic organization founded in Buffalo, New York, in 1884. The Union was founded by a group of progressive women led by Abby Morton Diaz and aimed to promote the material, moral, and intellectual welfare of women across all backgrounds and social classes. Throughout its history, the Union introduced reforms in women's education, employment, social and domestic sciences, and legal protections, and is widely credited for being the catalyst in the creation of a police matron system in Buffalo. The book draws on historical records, newspaper accounts, and personal narratives to describe the Union's efforts to open employment and educational opportunities to women, provide social and domestic science instruction, and improve the overall quality of life for the women of Buffalo. In addition to detailing the Union's activities, the book examines the broader historical and social context of the women's rights movement and the progressive era, exploring how the Union's work intersected with the fight for women's suffrage, labor rights, and increased educational opportunities. This book will appeal to anyone interested in the history of women's rights, social reform, and the history of Buffalo, New York.
