We cultivate a sense of civic responsibility. We foster culture and promote educational opportunities.The Woman's Club of Dayton has served an integral part of history in the Dayton community for over 100 years. Founded in 1916, by women that include Julia Patterson Crane and Mary J. Kumler, the club provided the space for women to gather, network, and advance their own lives as well as their community. Education, women's rights, and politics were debated here. The club served not only as a meeting place for the many women's clubs in the community, but also as it's own benevolent and educational entity. Members of the Club were leaders within the community, promoting music, art, education, civil rights, and suffrage. Some of the Club's most prominent members included Electra C. Doren, suffragist, library director, and innovator; Julia Shaw Patterson Carnell who helped establish the Dayton Art Institute and was a co-founder of the Dayton NAACP; and Katharine Wright Haskell, suffragist, educator, manager of PR for her famous brothers, and leader in the Dayton community.The Woman's Club has been approved for addition to the National Trust’s 1,000 Places Where Women Made History site.
