Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'The Story of an Epoch-Making Movement' is a compelling historical account of the rise and influence of the Consumers' League, written by one of its most prominent leaders, Maud Nathan. This work chronicles the transformative efforts to improve labor conditions through consumer activism, highlighting the shift in public consciousness regarding the moral responsibility of the purchaser. Nathan details the league's foundational goals, including the fight for fair wages, shorter working hours, and the abolition of child labor.By documenting the 'White List' of ethical retailers and the legislative battles fought on behalf of working women, the narrative provides an insider's perspective on a pivotal era of social reform in America. Beyond its focus on economic justice, the book serves as a vital record of the early 20th-century women's movement and its intersection with labor rights. It illustrates how organized consumer pressure became a powerful tool for social change, laying the groundwork for modern ethical consumerism.
