The Women's ClubHistory
Historic Photograph
The Women's Club was founded in 1901, just 20 years after the first club for women was formed in London in 1881. The Founder Dr Mary Booth, a medical graduate from the University of Edinburgh, had experienced club life in London. She received enthusiastic support for the idea of establishing a club in Sydney 'to provide a place where women interested in public, professional, scientific, literary or artistic work, may spend their leisure moments and associate on equal terms'. |
