Our Story

In the beginning...

Norwich, 1907. Eight women meet to “promote the cultural, charitable and social aspects of Norwich life.” They paid $0.25 and pronounced a dress code of white gloves and a hat. It was the Ladies Literary Society, and by 1910, they had 25 members! Lose the gloves and hat, up the dues, and it’s us - the Norwich Women’s Club. And we still IMPACT NORWICH.

​In 1914, $100 was enough to pay for the first electric street lights in Norwich. And then, as the country went to war a couple of years later, the women of the Norwich Women’s Club threw themselves into the War Relief and Red Cross efforts. And they donated buckets for the new Fire Department too! And we continue to IMPACT NORWICH.​

1930, America. Depression, hunger, misery. The Norwich Women’s Club sponsors a timely debate on the topic of, get this, “The emergence of women from the house is a regrettable feature of modern life.” The ayes had it, 24-3. Oy. Oh, and the club funded $50 for gravel for the sidewalks. And there’s the IMPACT NORWICH.
