In the early 1900s, Detroit's clubwomen successfully lobbied for issues like creating playgrounds for children, building public baths, raising the age for child workers, and reforming the school board and city charter. When they won the vote in 1918, Detroit's clubwomen, both black and white, were eager to incite even greater change. This fascinating volume examines the civic engagement of these women, who considered their commitment to the city of Detroit both a challenge and a promise.
