Background Note: The Grinnell Woman’s Club was founded in September 1917 as part of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. Initially, the local organization had 227 charter members who paid dues of 50 cents apiece. The records on hand date to April 1935, at which time the organization was still strong and had just decorated a meeting room in Stewart Library for its own use.
Included in the collection are two notebooks filled with general information about programs and projects on the national and state levels. Programs focused on Art, Bible, Child Study, Drama, History and Travel, Home Economics, Literature, Music, Sociology, and Conservation. Lobbying for Conservation legislation was carried in the State Legislature. The compiler of these two notebooks is not identified but appears to be the same person who compiled Collection #62, Grinnell Clubs Study Programs.
A second collection of records covers the period from 1953 until the club’s termination in 1991. It is unclear whether the club continued during the period after April 1935 or reorganized in 1953 after lapsing. The club was now called
Grinnell Women’s Club and was still associated with the General Federation of Women’s Clubs. In 1981, the name, Federated Women’s Clubs of Poweshiek County (GFWC) was adopted.
