[1] In November 1899, Helen M. Winslow first evolved the idea of the Boston Authors Club.
"Call some people together here, at my house, and we will form a club, and it will be a good one too."
A meeting was held on November 24 at Howe's house, Ward, Winslow, Jacob Strauss, Hezekiah Butterworth, and Herbert Ward attending.
In January 1900, the Authors' Club made its first public appearance in a meeting and dinner at Hotel Vendôme, Mrs. Howe presiding, Colonel Higginson (whom she described as her 'chief Vice') beside her.
