http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/764420133

The Emory University Woman's Club records provide a continuous picture of the Club's history.

They reflect some of the effects of historic and social trends on Emory and on women and give evidence of the broadening of the Club's membership to include women who were faculty and staff members in their own right.
