          The Akron Woman’s City Club was founded in 1923 as a place where woman could meet to discuss Subjects of interest, hold seminars for continuing education, promote charitable events, and serve as a meeting place for women of Akron.  Today it remains as one of the oldest clubs for women in the United States.  Its membership is now open to both men and women.
