Description: (American Social and Political Reformer and the Pioneer of the Term 'Wage Abolitionism')
Florence Kelley, a notable social and political reformer, is credited with coining the term wage abolitionism. She was a staunch advocate for several important causes such as eradicating sweatshops, promoting fair wages, establishing eight-hour workdays, and defending children's rights. As the inaugural general secretary of the National Consumers League since its establishment in 1899, Kelley played a vital role in advancing these movements. Furthermore, she was a key figure in the formation of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) in 1909.
