Collections/University Archives, Rutgers University Libraries.
Cushing, an advocate of protective labor legislation
for women, founded the Consumers' League of New Jersey in 1900. She served as
its president for 30 years. Cushing was largely responsible for the
introduction of the state factory inspection, and she worked tirelessly
for limits on child labor.
