Little is recorded for this glass negative beyond its title, Women's Economy League, which the Bain News Service noted on the plate or its caption card. The agency, founded in New York in 1901, supplied newspapers with news photographs of public figures, events and organizations, and its negatives now form part of the George Grantham Bain Collection. Women's economy leagues of the early twentieth century were civic groups that promoted thrift, careful buying and women's role in household and public economic affairs, so the picture may document a meeting or gathering connected to that work. With no date or location given, the group itself is the strongest clue to what the image shows.
