1916 San Francisco, California Women's Club Handwritten Journal from World War I Times.
Direct quote from the journal (As seen in photo #10) :
"A letter from the Board of Education advising us of a resolution which they had passed December 21, 1915, requesting the Chief of Police to have all nude pictures ... withdrawn at once from all windows of stores along the public thoroughfares of this city (San Francisco, CA), and a petition from the Hamilton School children asking the playground commission to install a swimming tank in Hamilton Square."
Quote sourced from
Wikipedia
; Women's Club Movement in The United States :
"The woman's club movement became part of Progressive era social reform, which was reflected by many of the reforms and issues addressed by club members. Many women's clubs focused on the welfare of their community because of their shared experiences in tending to the well-being of home-life . . . Tending to the community was often called "municipal housekeeping" during the Progressive era and reflected a shared belief by many club members that home and city life were linked through city hall. By constructing the idea of municipal housekeeping, women were also able to justify their involvement in government . . . Women's clubs were not created to copy men's groups; instead, they were often created to give women a space to share ideas as equals."
