The Women's League · Asma Jibrail Jabbour

The Women's League was founded in Beirut in 1920. Its main object is to promote a broad acquaintance among women of all nationalities through their common interest in the welfare of the city of Beirut and the Near East and to maintain an open forum where leaders in matters of public and civic interests may be heard frequently.

The membership totalling from 85 to 120 (from year to year) consists of English speaking women of different nationalities. The members hear programs monthly from November to May on a variety of subjects.

The league has three committees which meet monthly; the scholarship committee which helps to raise funds for the education of one girl every year, the music appreciation group and the home and child study group. The last two groups are open for all those who are interested.
