Women managing and representing Women
In this June 1, 1956 photo, Clara Moell (left), a Joseph & Feiss forelady, debates a point with Mae Hendrickson (right), local union president. In its early twentieth century progressive era, the company contended that it paid women equal pay for doing the same work that men were doing and that it gave opportunities to women, like Clara Moell, to become part of management. The top management echelon throughout the company's history, however, was composed entirely of men.
