In December 1937, after much debate and a committee vote, the National Federation of Women’s Republican Clubs (NFWRC) was established as an auxiliary to the RNC.

[3] Under Martin’s leadership, the Federation emphasized political education through study materials distributed to clubs nationwide, aiming to create a disciplined network of informed Republican women.

[4] In 1948, Elizabeth P. Farrington succeeded Marion Martin as president of the NFRW and strategically broadened the organization's membership by reaching out to Southern women and African-American members.

Unlike Martin, who focused on general party loyalty, Farrington prioritized gender-specific concerns that resonated with women across different demographics, thereby uniting them under the Republican banner.

To enhance the Federation’s independence, she successfully moved it out from under the financial oversight of the RNC, granting the organization the ability to select its own leadership and manage its budget autonomously.

The organization innovatively conducted political events in private homes, such as the "Operation Coffee Cup" gatherings, where Republican candidates engaged directly with voters in an intimate, informal setting.

[5] The NFRW is structured across national, state, and local levels, with specialized programs aimed at mobilizing Republican women and supporting their participation in politics.

[10] Members at the local, state, and national levels focus on recruiting and supporting Republican candidates, advocating for party policies, and promoting women's involvement in the political process.

These groups collectively organized training sessions to prepare Republican women, helping them navigate the political landscape and develop the skills necessary for successful candidacies.
