The
Woman’s Monday Club held its first meeting in 1897 and still exists
today. The importance of studying this type of organization includes
its long life. Few women’s organizations can claim more than a
century’s worth of action with detailed records to account for their
activities. Also, this club’s metamorphosis from a small reading group
to a powerful political voice is an example of the changes society and
women have gone through over the past hundred years.
This
club’s activities at the state, local and national levels sponsored
other actions by club members or associations. Corpus Christi truly
owes a thanks to this club and its members for their efforts to improve
and support civic activities in the area, as do Texas and the United
State of America.
