While women's organizations had always been a part of United States history, it was not until the Progressive era that it came to be considered a movement. The first wave of the club movement during the progressive era was started by white, middle-class, Protestant women, and a second phase was led by African-American women. These clubs, most of which had started out as social and literary gatherings, eventually became a source of reform for various issues in the U.S. Both African-American and white women's clubs were involved with issues surrounding education, temperance, child labor, juvenile justice, legal reform, environmental protection, library creation and more. Women's clubs helped start many initiatives such as kindergartens and juvenile court systems. Later, women's clubs tackled issues like women's suffrage, lynching and family planning. The clubs allowed women, who had little political standing at the time, to gain greater influence in their communities.” (see Wiki)Each pamphlet measures 4 x 8 inches, illustrated printed wrappers, decorative string binding, various pagination 32, 26, 26, 27 pages, faint soiling to covers, some chipping at the extremities (see photos) otherwise in very good condition, the bindings are tight and intact, odor free.
