Wonderful Women of Williamsburg

Wonderful Women of Williamsburg

Did you know we have our own “Ladies Club”? The Wonderful Women of Williamsburg meet on the last Thursday of the month at 2:30pm. It’s a fun time to get together and celebrate the lives of all the wonderful women that live here. We had a great time at our party! Enjoying some yummy key lime cupcakes with fresh cream and pineapple. We also made adorable lacy doily sheep. They looked beautiful on everyone’s door for Easter! 

Did you know?

 Women’s clubs, also known as woman’s clubs, first arose in the United States during the post-Civil War period of the late 1860s, in both the Northern and Southern United States. As a result of increased leisure time due to modern household advances, middle-class women had more time to engage in intellectual pursuits. They established numerous women’s clubs, many with a primary function of “study clubs and reading circles”. They also frequently supported social welfare goals, such as building of schools, public libraries and hospitals.

Women’s clubs founded 75-80 percent of the libraries in communities across the nation. These clubs were an integral part of a cultural building of institutions that occurred around the years 1870-1930 throughout the United States. It led to the formation of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs
