The club was intended to "promote contacts between women artists of all nations and to arrange exhibitions of their work",[1] and until it dissolved in 1976 it provided a way for women to exhibit their art work.
The first exhibition of the club was held in Paris in 1900,[2] and another at the Grafton Galleries in London in the same year.
Members of the club included Elisabeth Frink, Gwen John and Orovida Pissarro.
The membership of the club was international, and there were sections in France, Greece, Holland, Italy and the United States.
