We Stand in Support of Women,

​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.
