Organizational History

The Utah Order of Women Legislators was chartered on 4 April 1936. The idea for the organization was initiated by Julia M. Emery of the Connecticut Order of Women Legislators who wrote a letter to Elise Musser of Utah suggesting the formation. In May 1938, it was decided that the group would also become members of Utah's Legislative Council of Women, as well as the Salt Lake Council of Women. Since its conception, the organization has passed resolutions pertaining to women, served in a World War II bond drive, and held various functions designed to promote friendship among women who have common interests and problems.
