From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Era Club of New Orleans was a woman's club in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was one of the largest woman's clubs in the southern United States.[1] The club did charitable works, advocated for reform and for women's suffrage.
The Era Club was founded in 1896 by Evelyn W. Ordway and was affiliated with the Portia Club.[2] The name was really an acronym, standing for the "Equal Rights for All."[3] The Era Club worked for women's suffrage in Louisiana and also towards improvements in education, sanitation and other civic matters.[4] The club also raised money for charities and was involved in campaigning against child labor.[5] The Era Club was also the only organization in New Orleans advocating for women's suffrage between 1900 and 1913.[5]
