The person to the left of the baby, Mary Anderson, just a teen herself, was a domestic worker. She would go on to be a director at the U.S. Dept of Labor - a position she would hold for a quarter century. 2/

In 1886 these women posed for a picture at the Knights of Labor (KoL) Assembly. They were but 8 of the 50,000 female members fighting for workplace reform.

Seems a lifetime ago vs just a few weeks that I was in Vicenza. A gorgeous little town about 45 min from Venice.

One of the many gorgeous buildings by 16th c native son Andrea Palladio.

Just was in BUF for a wedding. Did my stops at D’Avolio and Alethea’s for my holiday gifts! We go through the cranberry pear vinaigrette like it’s water
