  • President’s Report, Women’s Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

    The topics covered in the President’s report of the Women’s SPCA in 1909 covered all manner of topics – A paper on hydrophobia, a committee comprised of women overseeing animal control officers in Philadelphia, the management of bequests, and a very dark cartoon.
