Congress of American Women The Congress of American Women was an American women's rights organization. It was founded in New York on March 8 (International Women's Day) 1946 following a 1945 feminist conference in Paris. Its primary organizer was Elinor S. Gimbel (wife of Louis S. Gimbel, Jr., grandson of Adam Gimbel of Gimbels department store). It was affiliated with the Soviet sponsored organization Women's International Democratic Federation. In 1948 the organization was accused of being a communist front organization by the House Un-American Activities Committee and was forced to register as a "subversive" organization. The organization was finally dissolved in 1950. Among its members were anthropologist Gene Weltfish, aviator Jacqueline Cochran, educator Charlotte Hawkins Brown, and author and artist Muriel Draper.
John J. Morrill Store The John J. Morrill Store is a historic store and Grange hall on Belknap Mountain Road in the central village of Gilford, New Hampshire. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame clapboarded structure with a gable roof. It is predominantly Greek Revival in style, with pilastered corner boards, with entablatures and friezes above. It was built as a general store in the late 1850s by John Morrill, and served for many years as the local post office. It was purchased by the local Grange organization in 1909, at which time a series of interior alterations was made to facilitate its use by that group.
