Political Equality Club of Minneapolis.

The organization began around 1868 as the Woman Suffrage Club of Minneapolis and became the Political Equality Club of Minneapolis in 1897. A fire that year destroyed the club's records, so little is known of its early history.

Monthly meetings, September through June, were held first in members' homes and later in established headquarters, including the offices of doctors Cora Smith Eaton and Margaret Koch, and of Ethel Edgerton Hurd and Anna Hurd. In 1897-1898 the club also organized subsidiary groups in twelve of Minneapolis's thirteen wards, each with its own chairman, secretary/treasurer, meetings in members' homes, and fund raising activities.
