International President of the General Federation of Women’s Clubs (GFWC) Suellen Brazil attended her second Anti-trafficking Policy Roundtable today in the U.S. Senate, hosted by Anne Basham, CEO of Ascend Consulting and speaker for the GFWC August Board of Directors Meeting.
The event featured a powerful lineup of committed speakers, including Senators and Representatives sponsoring crucial legislation, alongside personal testimonies from survivors. Today’s presentations highlighted the urgency of addressing human trafficking, a $270 billion industry described as modern-day slavery that affects both labor and sex trafficking victims.
According to Brazil, “Today’s roundtable underscored GFWC’s unwavering commitment to combat human trafficking. We must continue to advocate for survivor-centered policies and actionable initiatives that ensure justice, support, and real opportunities for victims. Let us remain guided by their voices and resilience—every delay is a life left in the shadows.”
Currently, GFWC is advocating for the adoption of the Trafficking Survivors Relief Act of 2025.

It’s WHRC Wednesday! Let’s round out Women’s History Month with a look at a prominent clubwoman in American history: Margaret Chase Smith (1897-1995) of Skowhegan, Maine. Smith represented her home state as a member of the Republican party in the House of Representatives from 1940 to 1949, and in the Senate from 1949 to 1973; she ran for the presidential nomination in 1964. She is known for being the first woman to serve in both the House and the Senate and the first woman to campaign for the presidential nomination of a major political party, and is also remembered for the “Declaration of Conscience,” her groundbreaking speech against the smear tactics of McCarthyism, delivered on the Senate floor in 1950.
Long before her storied political career, young Margaret Chase was a teacher, journalist, switchboard operator, girls’ basketball coach (not necessarily all at the same time) … and President of the Sorosis Club of Skowhegan (1923-1924), a Junior club formed in 1921. She also helped found the Skowhegan Business and Professional Women’s Club in the mid 1920s, and went on to serve as president of the Maine BPW federation.
During her time in Congress, Smith stayed connected with women’s club work. She appeared several times in GFWC’s “Clubwoman” magazine, both as an author (e.g. “I Visit the Pacific,” March 1945; “Citizenship,” February 1946) and as a subject. At our 1960 Convention in Washington DC, Senator Smith was one of the people honored at our “Salute to Women,” along with Eleanor Roosevelt and others. Later in her life, Smith noted that her club activities provided a lesson in poise and self-esteem, which served her well during her long political career.
“What [my mentor Adelaide Ordway] was trying to do, and I wish someone would do it now, was to get more younger women interested in club work. …I remember how proud I was of [Sorosis] and of being the second president.”
– From an oral history interview with Margaret Chase Smith, conducted in 1992 by Shirley K. Richard, WHRC Committee member, New England Region. Oral History and Memoir collection, OH 008

GFWC members, TAKE ACTION TODAY on the Legislative Action Center (LAC) Alert found with the link below. Urge the House of Representatives to pass the bipartisan Trafficking Survivors Relief Act which will provide federal criminal record relief to survivors of human trafficking who committed a non-violent offense as a direct result of having been a victim of human trafficking.
Traffickers often force or coerce victims to commit crimes like financial fraud, drug-related offenses, and identity theft. There is currently no legal framework at the federal level to protect trafficking survivors from unjust criminalization or to help them address the consequences of prior charges.
Such criminal record could impact the ability to rent an apartment or get a job. This legislation would break the cycle and allow survivors to move forward.

It’s WHRC Wednesday! Here at the GFWC Women’s History and Resource Center, we’re researching the “Clubhouse Photo” collection for an exhibit at the 2025 GFWC Convention. This is a very history-nerdy process that involves original photographs, a magnifying glass, our club history books and files, and a lot of internet research, including a good chunk of time spent on map sites as we look for present-day versions of buildings that relate to our member clubs.
As you might expect, this process can lead to a lot of research rabbit holes. Today’s example is the building shown below, constructed in 1938 as the Stillwater, Oklahoma Public Library. The city’s first public library was (no surprise to fans of GFWC history) a project of the Stillwater Woman’s Club, which started the library in 1922 by providing books, librarians, and the space to hold them. The library was so successful that by the 1930s, it had been turned over to the city – but the club wasn’t done yet, and members turned out to persuade Stillwater residents to vote for the creation of a new, large, and totally modern library: constructed in 1938 by architect R.W. Shaw, and funded in part by a grant from the federal government’s Public Works Administration.
The library was not the only club project, of course, but it was one of which the members were very proud; it was referenced frequently in club publications and featured on the cover of several yearbooks. Although the remaining club members voted to cease operations in 2011, one of their final acts was a donation to the library “toward the purchase of archival materials.”
The 1938 building is still standing, as we discovered thanks to Google Maps, though the library has a new building, where they still hold a Stillwater Woman’s Club Collection. In 2019, the library used funds from a state-wide grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services to digitize this collection and make it available on the Digital Public Library of America. I'll pop the DPLA link to the Stillwater Woman's Club collection in the comments.

In honor of Black History Month, here is a nugget of Friday trivia…
Have you ever wondered why certain months are selected to commemorate important days/events in history?
If so, you`re in luck…
Black History Month`s annual commemoration originates in the United States, and the month of February chosen because it celebrates the birthdays of two prominent civil rights leaders:
1) U.S. President Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865), and
2) Frederick Douglass, a renowned abolitionist, orator, writer and statesman.
The celebration of Black History Month began in 1970, and U.S. President Gerald Ford officially declared February as the month to honor the contributions of Black Americans throughout history in 1976. Ten years later, in 1986, Congress passed a Public Law declaring February be recognized nationally as "Black History Month."
In honor of all our black leaders and community members working to make a difference in the lives of many, GFWC celebrates your good works of the past, present, and future. Thank you for all you do to make our country and communities better!
