The National Association of Wage Earners was an organisation which sought to standardize and improve living conditions for women, particularly migrant workers. The organisation operated a mail-order clothes factory, and was headquartered in Washington D.C.[1] It was founded by Nannie H Burroughs, who had previously founded a national training school for black girls in 1909.[2][3] The Association appears to have become defunct by 1926.[4]
