Heather Cox Richardson and 250 to 250: Women’s Club Movement, Narrated by Katie Paris
Katie Paris is an Ohio suburban mom and 25-year political veteran. In 2019, Paris quit her job in national politics to found Red Wine & Blue, a community of over half a million diverse suburban women, working together to defeat extremism, one friend at a time. Paris explores the women's club movement, whose millions of members shaped Progressive Era reform and the fight for civil rights.
From 1890 to 1920, many American women joined women's clubs.
- These clubs worked to improve their communities.
- By 1914, about 1 million women belonged to these clubs.
- They supported education, women's health, and laws to protect children.
- They helped create public libraries and national parks.
- Many clubs did not allow Black women to join.
- In 1896, Black women formed the National Association of Colored Women.
- Leaders included Mary Church Terrell, Harriet Tubman, and Ida B. Wells.
- They worked for civil rights and better education.
- Today, women's groups continue to help their communities.
