✨ #OnThisDay in 1872, Illinois made history by passing a groundbreaking law that made it illegal to bar women from any occupation except the military. It was the first time any state enacted legislation to protect women’s employment rights. 💪

This historic law didn’t just happen — it was drafted and passionately lobbied for by an extraordinary 18-year-old woman named Alta M. Hulett. Her determination helped pave the way for generations to come. 💥
