8. Kate Mullany House – Troy, NY

The Kate Mullany House was formerly the home of labor leader Kate Mullany and was added to the list of National Historic Sites in 2001, thanks primarily to the efforts of Senator Hillary Clinton. Kate Mullany was born in 1845 and immigrated to the United States from Ireland when she was young. She got a job at the all-female Collar Laundry, and after a successful strike in 1864 to increase their wages, Mullany managed to form and sustain the only all-female labor union later that year — she was only 23-years-old at the time! She was later elected the second vice-president of the National Labor Union. Her home, which is a small apartment within a larger building, is in the midst of being updated in order to receive visitors.
