Historical Note

The Michigan State Federation of Women's Clubs was established in 1895 and is an affiliate of the General Federation of Women's Clubs. Initially it was an organization made up of women's charitable and literary clubs from all over the state, including junior clubs for girls. Luella Mumford was the wife of Eben Mumford, a sociology professor at Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) and the 20th president of the MSFWC from 1928 to 1930. Mary E. (Mrs. C. L.) Thompson was the 21st president.
