Founds National Federation of Women Workers

In 1906, Mary Macarthur founded the National Federation of Women Workers (NFWW), the first all-female general trade union in Britain. This was a landmark event as it addressed the needs of women laborers who were often marginalized in the all-male unions. As its inaugural leader, Macarthur advocated tirelessly for women's labor rights, focusing on fair wages and working conditions. The NFWW not only empowered women by giving them a platform for their labor rights but also played a crucial role in unifying women workers across various sectors, thereby ensuring their voices were heard in policy-making forums.
