Description
Members of the Sacramento’s Business and Professional Women’s Club look toward the camera in this 1958 photograph. Those pictured are attending a convention and are delegates representing California’s BPWC Region Three. The BPWC’s statewide body was known as the California Federation of Business and Professional Women’s Clubs. From its inception is July 1919, the group worked from a platform of three basic themes: the elimination of sex discrimination in employment, the principle of equal pay, and the need for a comprehensive equal rights amendment. By the late 1950s the Greater Sacramento area could claim 15 different BPWC chapters.
