The Suffrage Bill was defeated in session, but it didn’t dissuade founding members from opening the WCC in rooms that were rented in the Vanderbilt Hotel. New York State legislators finally passed the Suffrage Bill in 1917 and Women’s City Club membership began to grow shortly thereafter. It is estimated that in the early 1920’s, membership hovered around 3,000. The founding members of the Women’s City Club of New York were initially interested in encouraging women to assume “an intelligent part in municipal government” and on improving the quality of life in New York City. The club’s original concern revolved around the welfare of women and children. However, it soon became obvious to members that they needed to broaden their vision and address issues that directly affected all New Yorkers. Over the course of time the WCC expanded its operations and became involved in issues related to education, health, transportation, civil rights, labor conditions, city finances, race relations, status of women, and environmental protection. The modus operandi of the Women’s City Club of New York revolved around committee work. The club had an array of committees and subcommittees which monitored economic, political and social trends, city, state and national government policies, public health, housing, public transportation, women’s issues, and educational developments. Typically a committee would investigate an issue and suggest an appropriate course of action. When the issue was deemed crucial or controversial the board would call for a meeting to seek a general consensus of the membership body. It would then authorize the publication of a report in order to bring the committee’s findings to the attention of the general public and to officials in City Hall, Albany, and Washington, D.C. The WCC successfully campaigned for reforms in city affairs, housing, the judicial system, quality of life, women’s issues, and education, to name a few. The Records of the Women’s City Club of New York stand as a testament to the vision, courage and perseverance of women who struggled to enhance the quality of life for all New Yorkers in the 20th Century. The collection is filled with an array of documents that illuminate the accomplishments of an organization that endorsed social and political reforms on the local, state, and national arenas. For a more in depth look at the history of the Women’s City Club of New York, researchers are encouraged to read “Women’s Political Choices After Suffrage: The Women’s City Club of New York, 1915-1990” by Elisabeth I. Perry in the October 1990 issue of New York History. 6 SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE The historical records of the Women’s City Club of New York were originally donated to the Barnard Center for Research on Women at Barnard College on October 29, 1987. Barnard College received the bulk of the historical records, while the WCC held on to the minutes of the Board of Directors, club bulletins, and scrapbooks. The Memoranda of Agreement and the Deed of Gift specified that Barnard College would organize, preserve and assist the WCC in getting their historical records microfilmed. In 1988, the Women’s City Club of New York invited Mr. Randolph H. Boehm, of University Publications of America, to survey their organizational records and submit a proposal for microfilming them. After completing the survey Mr. Boehm recommended microfilming the following records: 1) Annual, Monthly, and Special Meetings, 1916 - 1980; 2) Board of Director’s Meetings, 1916 - 1980; 3) Minutes of the Standing Committees, 1916 - 1980; 4) Calendars, 1923 - 1972; 5) Publications, 1917 - 1980; 6) Anniversary Materials, 1951 - 1975; 7) Legal Documents; 8) Miscellaneous Materials; and 9) Scrapbooks. Boehm’s proposal was accepted and in 1989 U.P.A. published a microfilm guide to the WCC records titled Grassroots Women’s Organizations: Records of the Women’s City Club of New York, 1916-1980. This became the first guide to provide a port of entry into the historical records of the Women’s City Club. As a result of a dispute between the Women’s City Club of New York and Barnard College the organizational records of the WCC were removed from Barnard College in 1989 and were deposited with Hunter College of the City University of New York on March 6, 1991. In a ceremony that was held in the Faculty Dining Room of Hunter College, Mrs. June L. Farmer, president of the WCC, joyfully remarked that “We are entrusting our archives to Hunter College with the knowledge that they will be accessible to scholars, students, and those who want to know how, why, when, and who made the Women’s City Club an effective organization.” President Paul LeClerc of Hunter College acknowledged the receipt of the WCC archives and remarked on “the importance to academia of archival material and how it brings to life the significant contributions made by women and men of the past.” Professor Julio L. Hernandez-Delgado, Head of Archives & Special Collections of the Hunter College Libraries, undertook the task of organizing the paper records of the Women’s City Club of New York in 1993. Professor Hernandez-Delgado adopted the nine series that were created by U.P.A., but also generated additional series that incorporated the presidents’ files, committee reports, photographs, fund raising files, newspaper articles and clippings, press releases, chronology files, and the Edith S. Isaacs Papers. In 2001, 2005 and 2013, the Women’s City Club of New York deposited supplementary records to Archives & Special Collections of the Hunter College Libraries. The supplementary records were added to the main collection as Addenda I, II and III and were organized in accordance with the previously established series. However, it should be noted that Series IV - Ad Hoc and Standing Committees, Series VI - Activities and Events and Series XI - Publications were modified to include subseries. 7 The Records of the Women’s City Club of New York, 1915 - 2011, consists of annual reports, minutes of the Board of Directors, president office files, minutes and files of ad hoc and standing committees, motions, calendars, programs, summaries of open meetings, audiotapes, videotapes, photographs and negatives, legal documents, serials, reports, studies, surveys, press releases, scrapbooks, newspaper articles and clippings, memorabilia, position papers, and the Edith S. Isaacs Papers. In addition, the collection contains papers, reports and publications from a variety of external organizations. According to Professor Elisabeth Israels Perry, the study of organizations like the Women’s City Club “should not be ignored, as such associations provide a large amount of concrete and incontrovertible detail about women’s political ideas and actions.” Researchers will find the Records of the Women’s City Club of New York an invaluable source for the study of arts and cultural affairs, campaign financing, court, electoral and legislative reform, education, government operations, health, housing and planning, transportation, youth, urban tensions, and the status of women in New York City.

  • SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974–80
    SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974-80 byLennaKennedy* By the end of 1980, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was making monthly cash assistance payments, aver- aging $170, to almost 4.2 million aged, blind, and disabled per- sons. When SSI payments began in January 1974, the number of recipients was 3.2 million and the average payment was $117. Since 1975, both SSI payments and Social Security bene- fits have been automatically adjusted each year to correspond with increases in the Consumer Price Index. A number of other trends in addition to growth can be discerned in the size of the population served, as well as in their categorical, geographic, and age distributions. This article discusses some of these trends and changes, using program data for the end of each cal- endar year through 1980. It also presents a brief summary of the program at the end of that period. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program differed from State to State. In addition, payments provides cash assistance to residents of the 50 States, the within a State varied depending on criteria such as District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands special living arrangements-for instance, a recipient who are categorically eligible-aged 65 and older, blind, sharing an apartment or living in a domiciliary care fa- or disabled-and whose income and resources are with- cility.
