Summary:
The Phoenix Writer’s Club is an organization founded in 1926 by a group of determined women journalists. At a time when they were barred from male-only press clubs, these women established their own space for professional support and creative camaraderie.
Over the past century, the club has evolved from an exclusive circle of female journalists into an inclusive community welcoming writers of all genders, ages, and experience levels. The article highlights the club’s rich history, including its efforts to support British relief during World War II and its role in establishing National Poetry Day in Arizona. Today, the PWC continues its mission of “writers helping writers” through monthly meetings, critique groups, and educational lectures. To mark this 100-year milestone, the club is hosting special events and contests, honoring its founders’ “pioneering spirit” while fostering the next generation of Arizona authors.
