Join Georgiana Pittock and the City of Roses co-curator, Vicky White to learn more about the life and civic work of Georgiana Pittock.
Georgiana Pittock worked alongside women from all classes to make Portland and indeed the entire state of Oregon safer, cleaner, and healthier for other women, children, the elderly, the impoverished, and recent immigrants. Although she didn’t realize it at the time, Georgiana was part of what historians would later categorize as the Club Movement—a wing of Progressivism wherein women built strong networks to improve their communities. The Club Movement in the Pacific Northwest functioned differently than its East Coast and Southern U.S. counterparts; distance made social hierarchies less pressing, and the concerns were more immediate—roads, schools/libraries, establishment of labor laws were the priorities for women in the PNW. As such, Georgiana’s work in various clubs, associations, and unions took on a variety of forms and shapes.
