The Woman's League

New York, 1895

The second meeting of those interested in the erection of a women's building was held at Union Hall on Thursday afternoon. A large number were present. A constitution was discussed and several new committees were formed. It was decided to call the organization the "Women's League," and the yearly dues were placed at one dollar. A communication was read from Messrs. Hardenbrook & Harmer, stating clearly their proposition as to the Lyceum, The offer of these gentlemen is most generous and met with approval.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, Feb. 15, 1895, p. 12.
