January 2010's meeting will be on Thursday the 28th at 8:30 PM at Amy's as usual.
From page 248:
"By the 1890s women's reading clubs were a respected part of community life . . . But in the early years they were controversial. When the New England Women's Club was founded in 1868, the Boston Transcript predicted that "Homes will be ruined, children neglected, woman is straying from her sphere." In Greencastle, Indiana, a newspaper editorial attacked Elizabeth Ames, founder of a local women's club, claiming she had "lured women from their duties as homemakers" to join an "unspeakable menace."
