A history of the Milwaukee Board of Womens Officials

Abstract

A historical study of the formation, growth, and development of the Milwaukee Board of Women's Officials was made. The influence of the Milwaukee Board in establishing other boards of women officials was examined. The effects on the development of the board by some of the early board members were traced. Sources of information for this study were the constitutions of the Board, minutes of meetings, records of officers, records of ratings issued, and personal interviews with past and present members of the Board.
