women's guild

Female members' organization

A women's guild is an organization of women formed around a shared purpose—typically charitable work, religious service, or community improvement.

Church-based guilds often coordinate volunteer activities, fundraising, and social events: The women's guild organized the annual bake sale.

The term evokes traditional, often older membership and activities like quilting circles or hospital auxiliaries.
