The first men to vote for women
In 1893, men in Colorado voted to let women vote - the first time such a thing had ever happened. 16 years earlier a referendum failed in CO - just like in KS, MI, NE, OR, RI, WA & SD. So how'd we finally win? [1/2] <br />#StateOfTheWeek #Colorado<br /><br />Progressive collaboration: labor reformers, working class immigrant women in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, and the integrated Colorado Equal Suffrage Association. Elizabeth Piper Ensley👇 a founder of that group & of the Colorado Association of Colored Women's Clubs.Â

Women's Typographical Union 1
Women got the chance to learn typesetting when owners needed scabs. Augusta Lewis realized we'd do better unionized, and in 1868 she created Women's Typographical Union 1. It met @ the office of Susan B Anthony's newspaper Revolution. #Suffrage100 #KnowYour19 #Union

Women have always worked
Devoting all week to working women. Stories fr labor historian Barbara Mayer Wertheimer's 1976 book. "She always believed that it was women who 'will be the ones to organize other women...to transmit enthusiasm and confidence in trade unionism.'" #LaborDay
