"Our union has an obligation--far greater today than ever so before to...[take] up the problems of women's right[s]...and bring...our women members closer to the union and...into the fight on all fronts...The Struggle against injustice and inequality as they immediately affect women...cannot be regarded as being for the special benefit of women but must be understood for what it is--a struggle to strengthen the position of the workers as a whole."
Ivy Harris
