History of Federated Club
Activities
The following information, com-
prising a review of the National
Federated Club movement from the
beginning, was prepared for the
Times by officers of the local unit.
In May. 1918, the National Young
Womens Christian association call-
ed a meeting In New York City
of representative women from cities
east of Denver, for a conference
to discuss organising a federation
of business and professional wo-
men for the primary purpose of
providing an accessible, organized
body of business women In case of
I national emergency. The confer-
ence was attended by one hundred
women, and as a result of the
meeting a National Business Wo-
men's Committee was created.
After a survey throughout the
Usited States to ascertain the num-
ber of business and professional
women's Clubs, the committee vot-
ed in February, 1919, to form a
National federation. Organizers
were sent td tarlous parts of the
past can be a guide to our future
gains provided we look at the
record.
“Women may seem to have all
the things for which business and
professional women have been
working for twenty-five years:
Suffrage, freedom of action and
the ehoice of occupations, It Is
true that we have the things but
our main problem Is to hold on to
them.
