Fortunately, changes in the late 19th Century brought women more leisure time than ever before. Denied an education and the right to vote, these women sought ways to better themselves and develop as people.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">An explosion of clubs started in the mid-1800's with the formation of clubs designed by women, run by women and created for the betterment of women - clubs like Sorosis and the New England Women's Club led the way. In 1890, the General Federation of Women's Clubs was founded as a place for the various women's clubs to work together. To give an idea of the growth of the movement, sixty-six clubs initially formed the federation in 1890. By 1916 there were over 2,000 clubs in the Federation.</span><br />

<span style="color: #783f04; font-family: Verdana;">Why would a group of social clubs for women be important to history? Read on and see....</span><br />
