HerStory of Working Women:
The early 20th century saw more women entering offices, banks, stores, and businesses than ever before. As their professional lives expanded, so did the need for organizations where women could build friendships, develop leadership skills, and support one another. Clubs for businesswomen became places for both personal and professional growth, proving that community could be found not only through service, but also through recreation, lifelong learning, and shared experiences. Their legacy reminds us that empowering women has always meant creating opportunities to thrive: in work, in friendship, and in life.
