A Newcomer Visits Chicago Women of Rotary (quote from the letter)
“[…] Mrs. Harvey, who was the first president of the club, tells about
those first days of the organization (back in 1921 I think it was) when
they tried so hard to get recognition from Rotary International. Paul
Harris, it seems, had been easily won over, but it was not so with the
Board of RI.”Some of those early attempts included -
- Rotary Anns of Pitman, New Jersey, organized March 24, 1925

February 1929 -nbsp;The Women of Rotary – This Month: Pertinent
Remarks on Feminism (by Helena Weatherby) (quote from her article:
“As for free love, she (the new-style Feminist) thinks it is impractical
rather rather than immoral. With the society organized as it is, the
average man and woman cannot carry on a free union with any degree of
tranquillity.”
