From collection Candidates
In 1914, Josephine Goldmark, a labor investigator, ran unsuccessfully for delegate at large to the New York State Constitutional Convention. She was nominated by the Women's Committee of the State of New York for Representation in the Constitutional Convention, chaired by Lillian Wald. Goldmark was born in Brooklyn, New York. She attended Bryn Mawr College and later went to work for Florence Kelley at the National Consumers League. She worked on the landmark amicus curiae brief for the U.S. Supreme Court case of Muller v. Oregon, 208 U.S. 412 (1908) (often called the Brandeis brief after Louis Brandeis, her brother-in-law). Goldmark authored several social science studies as well as a biography of Kelley.
