In 1911, Harriette Treadwell was part of the Federated Marketing Clubs movement that influenced the health and the finances of every family in the USA. The focus was on food quality, which was required to be good to be sold, as well as guaranteed weights and measures, and fair prices.

Harriette Treadwell and Harriet Strokes Thompson lead the Political Equity League in 1914. This league had more than 2000 dues-paying members, did important suffrage work, kept a steady educational campaign in civics, held study, and kept watch over politics and the city council.

Harriette Treadwell, along with Margaret Free, published their first book in 1910, The Primer, which focused on teaching children from 5 to 8 years old to read and appreciate literature. All the books they wrote were specialized for children of a certain age group and each one had a different purpose. For instance, The First Reader (1911) contains rhymes and jingles suitable for children from 6 to 8 years old; The Second Reader (1912) introduces fables and fairy stories so that the children can associate related literature and organize it, and the Third Reader (1912) has fairy tales that highlight the interest of children ages 8 to 9 with a focus animals and nature. In 1913 Treadwell wrote a book for teachers to show how simple the essential principles of teaching were when teaching young children to read. She believed that the best literature was introduced in the early years of a child's life.
