This presentation will explore the circumstances that allowed for the development of women’s clubs in the United States between the early 1800s and early 1900s and the underlying ideologies and sentiments that spurred activism and organizing during the Progressive Era.This presentation will then explore the emergence of women’s clubs in Idaho, the specific work of these clubs, and the impact that these clubs had in their communities. At the turn of the 20th century, the work of club women supported various facets of the community, including health, education, the arts and humanities, and political and civic engagement. The presentation will end with an exploration of how some of these clubs adapted and continued to serve their community well into the 20th and 21 st centuries and how, thanks to the record-keeping of these organizations, we (with the help of historians) can learn from the women leaders of the past.
