<P> The Ladies Health Association was the first women 's group to join the pure foods movement . Starting in 1884 , they began a campaign to rid New York City of unsanitary slaughter houses . These women were `` energized to take legal action almost as much by the attitude of the city bureaucrats ( who were apathetic ) was by the need to protect their families and the neighborhood '' . If the city agency in charge of regulating slaughterhouses had been willing to listen to the Association and clean up the slaughterhouses , the women would have never continued their crusade . However , after a hearing , a slaughterhouse owner refused to clean up his property and this caused the women to pursue the execution of the penalty and continue a `` constant vigilance '' to keep it from happening again . </P>
