Biographical History
The National Council of Women of the United States (NCW) is an organization comprised of women's voluntary organizations with a common interest in the social, educational, and political rights of women. Its primary purpose is to act as a clearing-house or information bureau for its members in order to broaden awareness of each other's activities and to increase cooperation and reduce duplication of efforts among them. Along with its affiliate organization, the International Council of Women, the NCW was founded in Washington, D.C. in March 1888.
Founded in 1888 concurrently with the International Council of Women, the National Council of Women of the United States served as a clearinghouse of the national women's organizations. It assembled and exchanged information on the activities of its constituent organizations, which included the American Association of University Women, Medical Women's National Association, National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, National Women's Christian Temperance Union, and the Needlework Guild of America.
The National Council of Women of the United States was established in 1888 by such prominent women's rights advocates as Susan B. Anthony, Clara Barton, Julia Ward Howe, and Sojourner Truth. The Council campaigned for reform in regards to several social issues, including women's suffrage, child labor, and workplace conditions.
