The Louisville Women's City Club was founded in 1917 through the dissolution of the Louisville Women's Civic Association. The principle aim of the club was to awaken civic consciousness within the city of Louisville and to work together for the common benefit of others. The club engaged in various civic activities within Louisville, but was most active from its founding through the early 1930s. Members organized campaign rallies, worked for proper sanitation within the city, sought to improve public education standards, and participated in the wartime preservation movement. At its peak in 1921, club membership totaled over nine hundred; however, a gradual decline in numbers resulted in the club's termination in the late 1980s with only nine members remaining.
