Unions are most often associated with male-dominated labour jobs, however it was Clara Lemlich and 20,000 women garment factory workers who went on strike in NYC on 22 Nov. 1909. They were successful in reducing their hours and expenses. @jwaonline https://t.co/gt7FrV4WS1

OTD Fanny Fern died in 1872, aged 61. Fern was a wel-known columnist & author. She was so prominent so as to be invited to a Dicken’s event but it was revoked as he didn’t want women in the room. Learn more here and keep listening! @AlexisCoe @the_wing https://t.co/35EUTVge80

Thank you for speaking up! @leighsales

The apologies from the perpetrator and event organiser could focus a little more on the offence taken and a little more on the abhorrence of the perps behaviour.

Also, this is never funny.

Today is Labor Day in the USA. It's a great opportunity to reflect & remember Sarah Bagley & the Lowell Mill Girls, and their efforts to strike, protest, and rebel against poor working conditions. #WomensHistory @NPSWomenHist @LowellNPS https://t.co/H9SVqz83KR

Barangaroo is more that just a part of Sydney. She was an Eora woman who advocated for her people and her beliefs, and was an excellent fisherwoman. Her prominent role in Australia���s indigenous and colonial history should make her a household name. https://t.co/P5iEcuvm2R

Come for the sensational true story of Kate Bender, stay for what it teaches us about women’s gender roles in the late 1800s. @AlmostDrMartin reports. https://t.co/ATiMQMk3TD

To use the words of @annabelcrabb, I 2nd the “flat” dominant history of Aust voting but in all their work these women “colour-in” & “bring history to life”. Listen & if you too are left wanting, read the books @clareawright #JudithBrett #Suffrage #auspol https://t.co/gIN7shs16u

An example of how often women are left out of military & aviation history. And a reminder that so many successful women face numerous hurdles; in Ruth Law's case from fellow pilots & her husband. @washingtonpost #Women2Remember
