Muriel "Manny" Friedman was born on May 17, 1922, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, as the youngest child in a family of nine children of Romanian-Jewish immigrants.

After completing her secondary education, Friedman enrolled in the University of Chicago.

1943

While still studying, in 1943, Friedman took a job as a milling machine operator at the South Works plant of U.S. Steel.

A few months after starting the job she graduated with a B.A. in sociology.

Working at the plant, she met Charles Tuteur, a German Jew who had fled Nazi Germany and they married that same year.

The following year, the young couple moved to Vancouver, Washington, where she became a ship fitter and welder at the Kaiser Shipyards.

They tried to enlist together but Charles was rejected due to injuries sustained during a civilian imprisonment by the Nazis before his escape.

Manny was accepted into the Women's Army Corps and sent to basic training in Ft. Benning, Georgia, where she then completed parachute school.

1945

When the war ended, the couple returned to Chicago, where Tuteur worked as a caseworker for the Cook County Bureau of Public Welfare, and taught at several preschools hosted by the Jewish Community Center.

It was the first union-sponsored day care program in the United States and was funded by a negotiated percentage of salaries paid to workers by the contribution of clothing manufacturers.

The center provided, at no cost to union workers, care for 3 to 6-year-old children, which included free health and dental assessments and twice-weekly meetings with a psychiatric social worker.

During her tenure at the ACTWU Child Care Center, Tuteur made several trips abroad to study childcare and labor.
