Club Woman to Professional Woman

Posted

September 17, 2026

HerStory of change: By the 1970s, women across America were redefining their roles in the workplace, education, and public life. As opportunities expanded, women’s organizations also evolved, supporting not only civic service, but professional growth and financial independence. Programs like these reflected a new era where the identity of the “club woman” was growing alongside that of the modern professional woman.

The information for this HerStory was pulled from the presentation "The Changing Role of Women in the 1970s", presented by Emily Harbison as part of the 2022 class partnership project with The Ohio State University at Marion.

OUR MISSION: Empowering women and enriching the community, while preserving the historic home and promoting the Club’s legacy.
