The Ladies Clubs


These pages last updated February 8, 2015

I have gleaned membership information from various obituaries.


These were clubs completely different from the "auxillary" clubs associated with the men. These were clubs created by and for women. Different areas had different clubs. In some instances, these clubs were the only "acceptable" interaction women had with others. These clubs were focused on various things--some on book club, others on chatting, others on gardening, many different subjects. The location of these clubs are listed within the listings themselves.

Indiana Extension Homemakers Associaton

The first home economic clubs were formed in the year 1913 in Indiana. These clubs enabled women to receive lessons in home economics from Purdue University. At various times these lessons included just how to do homecanning or use the pressue cookers-- some lessons were on the use of the "new electrical" items in the home. Different areas had their own clubs. These clubs were different then the ones above- these were normally focused on "home" centered activities. Therefore there are several names here. If anyone knows of any that their ancestors were in, please submit them.
