    Canadian Women's Press Club

    The Canadian Women's Press Club (CWPC) was founded in June 1904 in a Canadian Pacific Railway Pullman car, aboard which 16 women (half anglophone, half francophone) travelled to the St. Louis World's Fair. All but one were working journalists who covered the event. Founding members included Kathleen “Kit” Coleman, Robertine Barry, Anne-Marie Gleason and Kate Simpson Hayes. The CWPC offered female journalists professional support and development in its mission to “maintain and improve the status of journalism as a profession for women.” In 1971, its members voted to admit men and the organization became the Media Club of Canada. In 2004, the club dissolved.
