Pittsfield Women’s Club marks diamond jubilee dating to 1890s origins
The Women's Club of Pittsfield celebrates 75 years of community service rooted in the Working Girls Club (founded 1890) and the Business Women's Club (1909). An Unknown Donor revealed Arthur N. Cooley funded a $100,000 bequest, aiding a 1930 merger. The club’s history includes a 1937 Community Chest role, a 1937 gift of the Wendell Avenue clubhouse, and self‑sufficiency after leaving United Community Services.
