In 1893, a group of Boston women founded the Women's Era Club, one of the first woman's clubs in the country led by African American women. With its journal, The Woman’s Era, this club’s mission of social activism reached national audiences. What causes were these women fighting for, and how were they treated by majority-white organizations? Join SCA Public History Intern Katie Woods as we explore the little-known yet influential club and publication, as well as the women behind these instruments of social change.
