The Woman's Club of Minneapolis played an active role in the city's early twentieth-century social and cultural development. With its creation in 1907, the Club provided an organization for upper- and middle-class women to advocate for improving the city and supporting the arts. Emerging at the time of the Women's Suffrage movement of the early twentieth century, the Club also offered an opportunity for women to participate in community affairs and gain political influence. Prominent women, such as Gratia Countryman, the first female head librarian in the City of Minneapolis; Clara Ueland, president of the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association; and Mabeth Hurd Paige, a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives, were active participants in the Woman's Club.
