women's societies
Ladies' club groups
Women's societies are organizations formed by and for women, typically for social, charitable, educational, or political purposes.
The term often evokes historical groups like literary clubs, temperance unions, or church auxiliaries that provided women with community and influence outside domestic life: The women's society organized the annual charity bazaar.
Such groups remain common, though the terminology has shifted toward "women's organizations" or "women's groups."
