Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Montreal Council of Women : The Montreal Council of Women (M.C.W.) was founded in 1893. An umbrella organization of Montreal women's clubs, it has sought to represent the interests and meet the needs of women, children and the underprivileged in the Montreal area. This included setting up a National Home Reading Union, in 1895, organizing milk stations for the poor in 1911, and in 1928 establishing a Committee of Education for Pauper Children, which eventually became the Montreal Children's Aid Society.

In 1934 the council turned to purely educational work in public health and since then has studied and presented surveys on such subjects as meat inspection, mental health and day nursing. The council has campaigned for social reforms in the interest of women and children, including the improvement of working conditions for female factory workers, for the admission of women to all faculties at McGill University, and for greater legal rights for married women.

The council is affiliated with the National Council of Women and, through it, the International Council of Women.
