Working Men's Club
Working men's clubs are a type of private social club first created in the 19th century in industrial areas of the United Kingdom, particularly the North of England, the Midlands and many parts of the South Wales Valleys, to provide recreation and education for working class men and their families. They also began at this time in Australia.

Famous quotes containing the words working, men and/or club:
“The ideal of men and women sharing equally in parenting and working is a vision still. What would it be like if women and men were less different from each other, if our worlds were not so foreign? A male friend who shares daily parenting told me that he knows at his very core what his wife’s loving for their daughter feels like, and that this knowing creates a stronger bond between them.”
—Anonymous Mother. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 6 (1978)
“Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Women ... are completely alone, though they were born and bred upon this soil, as if they belonged to another class in creation.”
