= Social Justice Feminism = Origin

Social Justice Feminism was started by Florence Kelly, who "that envisioned the passage of labor legislation for working women as an entering wedge for laws protecting all workers, regardless of gender." Because Kelly led the movement in the late 1800s, her protégé Molly Dewson continued as the new leader in the 1930s.

Accomplishments

Other woman that were involved in this movement include Rose Schneiderman and Mary Dreir, who worked with Kelly and other feminists to create 56 labor laws to help increase worker's security and prevent work related deaths. Because of this, a new group called Women's Joint Legislative Conference resulted from this and this then led to more laws that benefit working women, such as a minimum wage law. During 1991, the Detroit Public School had a system that only allowed for males to thrive in education, but the groups, National Organization for Women Legal Defense Fund (NOWLDF) and American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a lawsuit that would help out a mother and daughter.
