In the 1940s and 1950s, the Club was a boarding house for students from The University of Texas at Austin. During WWII, volunteers came to the club to roll bandages for injured troops. They also urged the Austin City Council to leave the “moon glow towers” standing since the lights enhanced the beauty of our Capitol City. Members insisted that tarpaulins be placed over open garbage wagons and advised the chief of police about implementing more stringent traffic rules. In its early years, the AWC protested cutting down trees on the Court House lawn, paid for marking the city’s streets in our historic downtown neighborhood and then urged the city of Austin to mark all streets. Over the past 80 years, the Austin Woman’s Club has been active in the Austin community. In 1986, membership rules were revised to include daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law and other outstanding young women of Austin. In 1939, a Junior Austin Woman’s Club was organized so that daughters and granddaughters of members could prepare for future membership in the senior club. One hundred sixty-two women were charter members, with family names prominently associated with Austin in the 1920s-including Governor Miriam A. The founding members joined with twelve other women’s groups (including the Settlement Club, the Readers Guild, the Jewish Council of Women and the Violet Crown Garden Club) to secure a place for women to gather, learn and network. That same year, with a $6000 down payment and the endorsement of the American History Club, AWC purchased the North-Evans House from the Evans Estate for $36,000.
