Member Spotlight - Ruth Ann Maury

Ruth Ann Maury of the Village of Santo Domingo submitted a piece of artwork that was selected to be used as the logo on the GFWC Florida Federation of Women’s Club website for the “Dear Jennie” page. Jennie June founded the GFWC (General Federation of Women’s Clubs) after she, a journalist, was denied entry by the New York City Press Club to hear Charles Dickens speak at a meeting despite the fact that she was a Press Club member.  GFWC is the world’s largest women’s service organization serving communities to improve the lives of women and their families in all areas from art to health to international outreach. The GFWC honors Jennie June annually with a journalism award to a deserving female journalist and recognizes both for their contributions to society. The GFWC Florida website page was created to answer questions about the federation. A logo representing the roots of the organization and the creativity of women was desired. Maury created an elegant woman of yesterday, sumptuously gowned in satins and taffetas of blues and red…the federation colors. The artwork is a mixed media of watercolor with pen and ink. www.gfwcflorida.org
