In 1920, Jeanette A. Hyde organized the Women's Legislative Comittee of Utah and acted as chair for five years. In 1925, Mrs. James J. Wolfe assumed the leadership. The organization drew up and adopted a constitution and by-laws in 1926 and changed the name to Women's Legislative Assembly of Utah. Three years later the name was changed again; this time to the Women's Legislative Council of Utah. The organization was incorporated in 1942 as the Women's State Legislative Council of Utah. The council formed several committees to study the areas of education, health, taxation, judiciary, and welfare. Members must join one of the five study committees. The first year of the biennium is a study year. The second year the committees sift through legislation pending before the state legislature. They propose resolutions in support or opposition of certain legislation. The organization is non-partisan and the constitution states that the purpose of the council is to "investigate and study subjects of state and national interest for the purpose of influencing and bringing to fruition beneficial legislation for the state of Utah."

The Women's State Legislative Council of Utah records (1926-2013) include minute books, rosters, reports, resolutions, membership information, histories, scrapbooks, news clippings, and correspondence, among other materials, concerning this Utah women's organization.
