Women

The League of Women Shoppers (LWS) was focused on using collective consumer power to reform the conditions of workers.[1] LWS created "buyers' strikes" which often led to boycotts and also raised awareness of various social issues.[2] They also supported African-American buyers' campaigns, such as "Don't buy where you can't work."[2] LWS saw consumable materials as social artifacts which could be judged on how they were produced and brought to the consumer.[3] LWS promoted the idea that women could look into how goods were made, who produced them, and how these people were treated.[4] A group of consumers, mostly women, could help bring more justice through thoughtful choices in shopping.[5]
