Unity in Diversity
GFWC’s motto is
Unity in Diversity. It was first used in a speech given
by New York clubwoman Ella Dietz Clymer at a banquet for
Sorosis, one of the founding clubs of GFWC, on March 20,
1889. Ella’s words, “unity in diversity,” expressed her
hope that the women of Sorosis would “form a lasting
union of the women's clubs throughout the United States
and possibly throughout the world. We do not feel that
sectional differences will separate us; on the contrary,
we hope that these very differences will form a bond of
sympathy.”
