We Stand in Support of Women,
Community Service, and Preservation

The Woman's Club of Louisville is driven by the conviction that when women put their ideas, passions, and purpose towards a common goal, they can accomplish great things. Through its missions, programs, and initiatives the Club seeks to empower women by providing the support and resources to make a measurable difference in this community. The Club's meetings and events entertain, educate, and inspire, while providing space for women to connect, cultivate friendships and forge bonds that last a lifetime.

The Best Way To Find Yourself
Is To Lose Yourself
In Service To Others

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.
