September 1st
Emma M. Nutt Day celebrates
the first woman telephone operator in America.
Emma was hired by Alexander Graham Bell. She is the second from the
left:
Emma Nutt became the first woman telephone operator on September 1, 1878.
She loved the job, and worked at it for 33 years.
This special day celebrates the world of telephone operators. It was a very
important job for many decades. Today, the position has been eliminated being
replaced by automation in telephone systems. Can you imagine what Emma would
think about today's cell phone world!?
A little side note about Emma: According to Emma, she was "very
thankful that my first name was not
Imma".
