Sorting[edit]

Should these be arranged alphabetically, or by state and then name? --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Welfare State ‖ 17:02, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This was eventually expanded to cover women's clubs in general, not just women's club buildings, and to include non-U.S. locations, and was sorted by country (and sorted within the U.S. by state then more or less by city). --Doncram (talk) 15:35, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cleanup[edit]

If you don't understand why this needs cleanup, drop me a note on my talk page and I will do it. (Example of what I mean by cleanup.) Valfontis (talk) 01:44, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think it was cleaned up, the suggestion no longer applies. --Doncram (talk) 15:35, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion criteria, definition of women's clubs vs. other women's organizations[edit]

How define distinction for women's clubs vs. other women's organizations? By "noncontroversial by today's standards" vs. "political"? A few added to the list should maybe be excluded/dropped. This does not include lots/most women's organizations, it does not include college sororities. --Doncram (talk) 15:35, 21 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe some defining can be done by usage of the 1922 directory, the Official Register and Directory of Women's Clubs in America, 1922 (Vol XXIV, the 24th annual edition), published by Helen M. Winslow. If it was called a club there, it is eligible here? I wonder if that directory covers black women's clubs, etc., though. --Doncram (talk) 02:07, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems NOT to have covered any "Colored" or "African-American" clubs, but I used its info in introducing almost all of the U.S. state sections. --Doncram (talk) 09:24, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

items yet to be addressed[edit]

One remaining one from the Women's club movement article's list is:

Women's Joint Congressional Committee

A number of women's articles were in the Category:Women's clubs in the United States, several of which I processed out of that already, starting articles about the women's clubs associated in some cases. The women, presumably associated with one or more women's clubs, are not themselves clubs! Create articles as necessary and recategorize the women to Category:Clubwomen:

For Wagoner, i opened National Plant, Flower and Fruit Guild as an article and put it into the women's club category, but I am not sure if it was a women's organization at all, much less a women's club. Help! --Doncram (talk) 09:24, 23 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Ladies rest rooms covered here, or split out?[edit]

User:Megalibrarygirl called my attention (by adding a wikilink for Home Demonstration Club, hey thanks for what you've been doing!) to NRHP-listed Ladies Rest Room, in Lewisburg, Tennessee. I just added it here, with text copied from its article: "Built by the Marshall County court in 1924 as a place for rural women to relax, rest, and eat during their visits to Lewisburg, the county seat. During the 1910s and 1920s, there was widespread encouragement in the United States for the establishment of ladies' lounges and rest rooms to accommodate rural women."

These need to be covered, in this women's club list or in a new List of ladies' restrooms or List of women's rest rooms or something like that. There are a number of these recognized in a couple of Australia's state historic registries. They apparently were sometimes really very important, and they functioned sort of like private women's clubs, it seems to me. --Doncram (talk) 03:57, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notable women's clubs?[edit]

I'd like to see us limiting inclusion to notable clubs -- those that have an article or arguably should. Every women's club in every little town...no. I propose trimming this to links + plausible redlinks. valereee (talk) 16:53, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
