Abstract

Established in 1903, the National Women’s Trade Union League (WTUL) advocated for improved wages and working conditions for women. The WTUL was composed of both working-class and more prosperous women, many of whom were white and Protestant and had gained experience in advocacy and social work as part of the settlement house movement. The settlement house movement was a reformist social movement that fought for the creation of large-scale urban housing and for social services to support the swelling numbers of working-class urban poor.
