Biographical History
The Hroswitha Club of women book collectors was founded in New York City in 1944 and took its name from a 10th century female German poet (Hrotsvitha, ca. 935-ca. 975). Meetings were scheduled three to four times a year during the winter months and held at the homes of members as well as at major libraries and private collections, mainly in the northeast. In 1948, the Club founded its Sarah Gildersleeve Fife Memorial Library (named after one of the Hroswitha Club's founders) consisting of books pertaining to Hroswitha, books by members and books of general interest.
In 1965 the club issued its major publication, Hroswitha of Gandersheim: Her Life, Times and Works. In 1990, the Hroswitha Club officially 'simplified' its activities in order to continue. The 200th meeting was held in 1994.
