520 1 $a"This book explores women's organizations and their various educational contributions through local, state, and national networks from 1890 to 1960. Essays examine associations including the National Kindergarten Association, the College Settlement Association, YWCAs, women's clubs, suffrage leagues, professional societies, and labor unions to dissect the way women shaped certain organizations and determine the overall influence on the organizations' bequests and reforms to education. Contributors argue that overall women's networks formed an often-invisible web of relations that shaped professional endeavors, and demonstrate how women united across race, class, and region, with varying results, to organize for a common goal."--BOOK JACKET.
