Margarette "Peggy" Golding (born Margarette Owen; November 1881 – 1939) was a Welsh born nurse and businessperson who was the founder of the "Inner Wheel" club in Manchester that has grown to be an international organisation - originally open to the wives of members of the Rotary Club only, but now open to all.
[2] Women had been involved informally in the Rotary Club's work but discrimination prevented then from becoming members in their own right.
Margarette Golding persuaded 26 other wives to meet her at a room she had reserved at Herriott's Turkish Baths in Deansgate in Manchester.
[4] Golding founded and named the Inner Wheel organisation for the wives of members of the Rotary Club.
[1] In 2008, Inner Wheel had nearly 100,000 members in 102 countries and was one of the largest women's organisations with consultative status at the United Nations.
