A federation of over 3,000 women's clubs in the United States which promoted civic improvements through volunteer service. Many of its activities and service projects are done independently by local clubs through their communities or national partnerships. Remains one of the world's largest and oldest nonpartisan, nondenominational, women's volunteer service organizations.
Covers are brown paper soft wraps and show minor soiling. Good condition for this timeline but shows a dark discoloration to the far edges of most pages. Almost as if deliberate and in some sense depicts a nice aged effect. But there is almost some staining at the far end pages upper right corner.
This shows some on the fabulous early advertising at the back of the book.
