The Denver Woman’s Press Club (DWPC) was founded in 1898 by nineteen charter members, including organizer and first president Minnie J. Reynolds.Reynolds was an influential suffrage leader, serving as “Press Secretary” in the victorious 1893 Colorado campaign, and later as a national suffrage organizer. She was one of the first woman political writers for the Rocky Mountain News, and an early woman stump speaker and activist in the Populist Party.The Club’s membership, throughout its history, has included numerous women leaders. Among them Helen Ring Robinson, Colorado’s first woman state senator, Mary Coyle Chase, Pulitzer Prize winning author of the play “Harvey”, Mary Elizabeth Bates, one of the first women doctors in Denver, and Mary Florence Lathrop, one of Denver’s first women lawyers.The Denver Women's Press Club purchased the home and studio of artist George Burr in 1924 as a clubhouse, and it remains their headquarters today.
