Tuesday, May 26th at 2:00 pm: Book Section-Akron’s “Better Half and the Humanization of the City 1825-1925 by Kathleen Endres. While the men of Akron busied themselves laying the economic, legal and industrial foundation, their wives, sisters, mothers and daughters were equally busy weaving the benevolent and cultural fabric of the growing city. This is the story of how women brought much needed services to the community and laid the cultural foundation for Akron. Some of the current organizations (such as our own) came into being during this period. The author provides a perspective not only on the early days of the city but also on the essential contributions made by women. Please register at the front desk by Friday, May 22nd. Payment of $10.00 will cover the Club’s refreshments and set up. $5.00 cash will be collected at the meeting for the session.
