"Women Organize for Preparedness. Pittsburgh Chapter, Pennsylvania Women's Division, Meets to Prepare Plans." Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph, 26 February 1916.
The Pittsburgh Chapter of the Pennsylvania Women's Division for National Preparedness is a patriotic movement to organize women throughout the state for preparedness in the event of war, to be ready to work in those fields in which women can most effectively aid in times of state or national calamity. It invites all women to join regardless of politics or religion.
This was the statement made yesterday at a meeting of the chapter at the residence of Mrs. W. Harry Brown, chairman. Answering the prevailing impression in some quarters that the organization is identified with the Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage it was explained that the women who are working for national preparedness are affiliated with no political body. At the meeting yesterday working units were formed. These include instruction in nursing, first aid, diet cooking, hospital service, clerical assistance, sewing and other personal service. In addition the general service will include financial aid to the cause.
