Emma M. Nut day
September 1, Monday
History and significance
Before women took the position of telephone operators, it was mainly men and teenagers who held these jobs, but their work was often accompanied by insufficient politeness and discipline. The employment of Emma M. Nutt changed the situation: her polite tone, attentiveness, and friendliness set new standards for the profession. Thanks to this, many companies began to hire women for such positions.

This day can be dedicated to:
* learning about the history of telephone communication;
* showing respect and gratitude to women who contributed to professions related to communication;
* discussing the role of women in technology and their contribution to the development of society;
* organizing thematic events or publications in memory of Emma Nutt’s contribution.
