Akron Women’s Organizations
Since antebellum days, women’s organizations have brought many improvements to the city of Akron, Ohio.
Some women’s organizations were committed to temperance; others were committed to supporting Akron service men away at war; some were organized to help working women.
Over the next few months, this website will tell the stories of many of these women’s organizations.
