Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Salt Lake Council of Women was established by pioneer women in 1912. It provided great help as "World War II Minute Women", still lives to provide more community service to the city and the State of Utah through: University hospital, YWCA, Wasatch Youth Center, Utah Youth Village, International Peace Gardens, Hall of Fame, and presentations on legislations, education, family life/health/welfare. Numerous women's clubs in Salt Lake City led to the organization of the Salt Lake Council of Women which acted on important issues such as libraries, parks, Girl Scouts, public health, city beautification, smoke pollution, women's legislation and social welfare. Under the auspices of the Salt Lake Council of Women, a citywide cleanup campaign took place in 1912.
