They started it during the Civil War. I wonder if that had something to do with it. Many men were away during that time and some never came back. I guess we'll never really know, will we?

I am surprised that the group still had members many years later as most women of that period did marry and have families. working outside of the home, I am thinking they had too much to do at home since everything was so primitive then to even think of a job or club to join. <br />I like to read your books and good to hear how you get some of the ideas for one.<br />thanks for sharing.<br />Paula Opolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382710562280127463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-3744405334508144032014-05-24T12:27:12.633-04:002014-05-24T12:27:12.633-04:00Thank you for such an interesting post, Margaret. ...Thank you for such an interesting post, Margaret.

My great-aunt helped organized The Tuesday Club in the 1920s, in which an assortment of New England farm wives met to sew and chat--usually--on Tuesday. But you guessed that, right?Susan Page Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15740852155505691341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-71664863260575810572014-05-24T10:30:49.103-04:002014-05-24T10:30:49.103-04:00Hi Vickie, thanks.

I wish I could travel back in time and attend one of those hair-pulling meetings!<br /><br />Have a great holiday weekend!

Interesting stuff, Margaret. As for the Society of Explosive Engineers, it's so funny you should mention that. I'm reading Karen Witemeyer's new book Full Steam Ahead, and the hero could be president of the organization. :) I love your humorous sub-headings! And your new book looks great. Can't wait to read it!Vickie McDonoughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09698966142886006577noreply@blogger.com
