A Legacy of Leadership

Remarkable Women of the Club
1890 - 2022

In 1890, Susan Look Avery hosted a gathering of women in her home. Avery believed that when women banded together, they could "do the world a lot of good." Hence, The Woman's Club of Louisville was born. For over 130 years, the all-volunteer organization has successfully promoted literacy, the arts, and public health; fought for equal property rights, child labor laws; helped establish the Kentucky Forestry Commission, the traveling libraries and more. The Woman's Club continues to effect real and positive change in the community through its charitable work, the No-Jury Art Show, and other evolving programs.

Women's Suffrage was a driving force for members of the Club in the early years.
