The Woman's Club of San Antonio

Formed in 1898 by Philanthropist Eleanor Brackenridge (1837-1924) and journalist Marin B. Fenwick with eighteen charter members, the Woman's Club of San Antonio was the first departmental club in Texas. Miss Brackenridge served for seven years as the group's first president. The activities of this charitable organization have advanced voting and education for women, social reforms, and the arts. The group purchased its first clubhouse in 1908. This structure, built-in 1907-08 as the residence of business and civic leader David J. Woodward, was acquired by the Woman's Club in 1926. (1975)
