Women [Women's clubs, organizing] - Description:
- Nora Zhitlowsky Speaking Tour. She discusses various trip stops in responding to feedback from Saltzman that was obviously given by branches as to her delivery and the effectiveness of her previous lectures. She offers that for the "Women between 2 Wars" lecture she has incorporated new material, that some of the audiences didn't pose questions well, but that in Minneapolis she was able to draw in younger women who were interested in organizingn around childcare and playgrounds as a result of the talk. Includes description of the Canadian urban leg of the trip and Jewish leftist life there. Talks also addressed "progressive education" and "Chaim Zhitlowsky's private life."
- Notes:
- The Jewish People’s Fraternal Order was the largest ‘national’ section of the International Workers Order (IWO) which focused on cultural awareness and celebration, mutual support especially in health insurance coverage, and anti-fascist activities. The IWO also gave particular emphasis to supporting the rights and interests of African Americans.
