Conceived in 1896 and formally chartered in 1923, The Woman's Club of Fort Worth (TWCFW) was founded to provide a shared, centralized hub for women’s social, cultural, civic, and educational organizations in Fort Worth, Texas. Under the leadership of founders Anna Shelton and Margaret McLean, and propelled by a major property donation from philanthropist Etta Newby, TWCFW expanded into a prominent institution. Today, the organization oversees an entire city block featuring historic buildings and curated gardens, remaining an active center for education, fine arts, philanthropy, and historic preservation.
