Topic: Florence Kelley

	Woman's Work - New York Times
		Kelley was born in Philadelphia in 1859, into a family bent on reforming the nation's political and moral life.
		Her father, Congressman William (Pig Iron) Kelley, believed it to be "the duty of government to protect the poor and the weak, and to secure to every child born into this beautiful world equal chances before the state and in society." Through her mother, Kelley was connected to Sarah Pugh, a Quaker and leading abolitionist.
		Kelley's life and work were grounded on these family precepts: that in a democracy it was government's duty to protect the laborer from the ravages of unchecked capitalism, and that women of her privileged class had an obligation to see that this duty was done.
