Goodwillie (1870-1949) Attended Miss Hershey’S School In Boston, There Developing A Love And Appreciation Of Literature. She Came To Baltimore With Her Family In 1898.

The Group Expanded And On April 22, 1912, Miss Goodwillie And Her Colleagues Established The Junior League Of Baltimore (Jlb) – The Fifth Junior League Internationally. The Young Members, Many From Families Where Community Service Was A Way Of Life, Quickly Immersed Themselves In Their Mission, “To Promote Voluntarism And Improve Conditions Through Trained Volunteers.” The First Members Met At Goodwillie’S House To Read And Discuss Books On Civic Responsibility. However, Soon The Women Began To See That The Jlb Offered A Way To Impact Their Community In An Era Before Women Won The Vote. Early Jlb Literature Indicates Young Members Were Asked To Boycott Stores That Didn’T Comply With Labor Unions To Show Support For Fair Wages. Additionally, The Jlb Hosted What The Baltimore Sun Called “Probably The First Public Debate By Women Ever Held In Baltimore On The Question Of Woman Suffrage.”Goodwillie Was For Many Years Active In The Family Welfare Association And From 1924-1945 Was The President Of The Baltimore Social Service Exchange.

For A Time She Gave Courses In Social Economics At The University. She Was Also President Of The Friends Of Johns Hopkins University Library, And During World War I She Organized The Red Cross Home Service. For Many Years She Was Active In The Community Fund From Which She Was Given A Distinguished Service Medal In 1938. Goodwillie Was Instrumental In Establishing The Junior League Of Baltimore, The Contemporary Club, And The Baltimore Poetry Society. She Was Very Much Interested In Music And The Theater. Not So Much In Progressive Politics.…
