Item Description

Rare Frankoma Clay Pottery 1987 of the GFWC Oklahoma Kindliness & Helpfulness Club origin of 1898. 8 3/4" diameter. Made for wall hanging.

Oklahoma Territory (O.T.) women formed clubs during the Territorial Era after each of the land openings. Apparently, the first women's club in O.T., the Chautauqua Literary and Scientific Club of Guthrie, was established in 1890; the Philomathea Club of Oklahoma City was established on October 27, 1891. The Atoka Pioneer Club, founded in 1896, was the first women's club in Indian Territory (I.T.). In May 1898 Sophia Julia Douglas, a member of the Philomathea Club, made a call to territorial women's clubs to federate. Twenty-four women representing eleven clubs with two hundred members met at the Presbyterian Church in Oklahoma City on May 24–25, 1898, and founded the Federation of Women's Clubs for Oklahoma and Indian Territories. Douglas served as the first president. The Oklahoma federation joined the GFWC on May 30, 1898. Within one year the number of clubs had doubled. They selected "Kindliness and Helpfulness" as their motto and formed standing committees on art, literature, civics, and education. By 1903 the committees had increased from four to twenty to include music, philanthropy, legislation, home and domestic science, and forestry. Membership stood at 1,675.
