as the primary investigator, barry dedicated her life to improving wages and working conditions for women throughout the united states, traveling across the nation to investigate female working conditions while also serving as the spokesperson for the female laborers. this complicated her views on traditional female society, for it forced her to leave her children and live in the public sphere. her reports to the general assembly in 1887, 1888 and 1889 described the hard conditions in factories, with reports of abuse on women and children. these reports made barry the first person to collect national statistics on the american working woman. about 65,000 women belonged to the knights at this time; the organization offered jobs and affordable goods to women while also organizing boycotts in support of female factory laborers’ interests. about four hundred of the knights’ local branches included women; membership in two-thirds of these was limited to women. barry, however, found herself unable to build a solid following due to the apathy of working women, divisions within the knights of labor, and difficulties faced by a woman attempting to organize men in a male-dominated society. employers also refused to allow her to investigate their factories. due to this employer resistance, organizing women within the movement was a challenge, and often better paid workers were reluctant to join labor movements for fear that their conditions would worsen. as barry remarked, some women had a "habit of submission and acceptance without question of any terms offered them, with the pessimistic view of life in which they see no ray of hope." these factors pushed barry to support state and federal legislation as a means of protecting laborers. her efforts in this regard are most visible in the 1889 passage of the first pennsylvania factory inspection act. barry, however, would not lobby politicians because she considered such activity "unladylike." yet of her more than 500 speeches during the course of her career including her popular speech, "the dignity of labor," one 4 july speech in 1888 in particular before three thousand people in rockford, illinois prompted the local women’s assembly to rename the holiday, "foremothers’ day."
