The club was founded May 23, 1923 with 50 charter members.

Among their special interests have been legislation regarding professional women, the right of women to serve on juries, international relations and civic duty.

The Business & Professional Women's Club of San Antonio has served the city by sponsoring clubs for young women in high school, offering scholarships for young women and by fundraising for various charities. Activities of the club are well-documented in the pages of the local newspapers, San Antonio Express-News and the former San Antonio Light.

San Antonio club members also sponsored district and state conventions, notably in 1953 and 1974, as well as workshops and seminars.

Texas Business and Professional Womens' Club
	Correspondence and state reports comprise the majority of this series. The correspondence is between state and District II officials of the club, and club members at the local level. The state reports are divided into financial and membership sub-series. Finances of the state organization, including contributions from district and local clubs are found in the financial files, and similarly detailed information about membership trends across the state in the membership files. Another sub-series of note is the minutes of the state board of directors meetings held monthly. These documents offer a detailed look at how the club functions at the state level. The series also contains issues of the state organization's publication, Texas Business and Professional Woman, in a nearly complete from 1948 to 1978.
