The United Women's Club was organized in Madison, Wisconsin, on January 26, 1917, although the charter members had held a preliminary meeting in October 1916. The purpose of the club was to study currently relevant political questions and to support laws for the welfare of humanity. Membership was open to any woman who was a U.S. citizen or who had declared her intent to be naturalized. Annually the membership elected a president, vice president, recording secretary, corresponding secretary, and treasurer to handle the business of the organization. In this, they were assisted by five standing committees: Program, Social, Membership, Press, and Friendship. There were two meetings a month from mid-September to July 1.
The collection includes no information about the club after 1946.
