- catalog description "In October 1934, Augusta Batchelder Hartt and several friends began planning a women's travel club modeled on the men-only Harvard Travellers Club, with the goal of providing a venue for women who had taken unusual trips to share their experiences and provide help and advice to other female travelers. The club held monthly and annual meetings, with a speaker giving a talk about unusual travel, such as an archeological dig in China or botanical research in Canada. Other events, such as joint meetings with the Harvard Travellers Club, picnics, teas, luncheons, and a costume party, all focused on some aspect of travel. In its early years, the club frequently had guest speakers who were not members, including Margaret Mead, Jane Goodall, and Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen). During World War II, the club formed a Red Cross Sewing Unit, which met weekly to sew layettes; members also invested in U.S. War Bonds. In 1968, the club began making travel grants to women wishing to study or do research abroad. Notable members of the club included Mary McMillan, the first president of the American Physical Therapy Association and a prisoner of war of the Japanese in the Philippines during World War II; Barbara Washburn, the first woman to climb Mt. McKinley; Marian Cannon Schlesinger, the first wife of historian Arthur Schlesinger Jr., and her sister, art historian Wilma Cannon Fairbank; and many other mountaineers, explorers, photographers, and sociologists. The club celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2009 with a reception and gala at the Wellesley Country Club. As of 2014, the club was still active.".
