Abstract:

Sallie Southall Cotten felt that together women could achieve great things. In 1899, she organized the End of the Century Club in Greenville for women to discuss books and sponsor community service projects. In 1902, she was a force in founding the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs, an organization that enabled women statewide to speak as a group for public school improvement, prison reform, and aid to the poor and elderly.
