History
The Coterie lays claim to greater age than of any other club in Minneapolis except the Tuesday Club. Coterie’s inception dates from the fall of 1880.
During the club’s history, literature had been the one unvarying pursuit, and every suggestion that the club depart from this study even for a time was met with disfavor from the membership. The 43 years devoted to literature had proved to many a liberal education. In 1927 there were still in the club membership many who were charter members.
The Coterie joined the Woman’s Council in April, 1892, and a few days later the General Federation of Women’s Clubs, joining the states federation in 1895.
