The Newswomen's Club of New York is a nonprofit organization that focuses on women working in the media in the New York City metropolitan area.[1] Founded in 1922 as the New York Newspaper Woman's Club,[2] it included Eleanor Roosevelt, Helen Rogers Reid and Anne O'Hare McCormick among its membership; it changed its name in 1971[2] to include members working in magazines and broadcast media.[3] The organization presents its Front Page Award annually to honor the most prominent achievements by women in journalism.[4]
