HISTORY
Remarkable Women
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; and 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. To read more about their efforts, click on link below.
