Ladies Auxiliary

---

A Ladies Auxiliary is an auxiliary organization where women joined for a predominantly male organization.. Most of them are historical since modern organizations tend to allow both men and women to join. Notable ones include

• The Ladies Auxiliary of the International Union of Mine Mill and Smelter Workers a group for female relatives of the IUMMSW
• The Royal Canadian Legion has one
• After 1881, with the mass immigration of Eastern European Jews to the United States, B'nai B'rith sponsored Americanization classes, trade schools and relief programs. This began a period of rapid membership growth, a change in the system of representation and questioning of the secret rituals common to fraternal organizations. In 1897, when the organization's U.S. membership numbered slightly more than 18,000, B'nai B'rith formed a ladies' auxiliary chapter in San Francisco. This was to become B'nai B'rith Women, which in 1988 broke away as an independent organization, Jewish Women International.
