                                  The Young Women's Christian Association of Greater Bridgeport- now the Center for Family Justice - was founded in 1895. During this era, Bridgeport was a factory city with an extensive industrial arm. As such, female factory workers both born in the United States and recently immigrated were drawn to Bridgeport for work. The YWCA provided a support network, as well as leisure, entertainment, and guidance. Although the organization has gone through a number of changes over the years, its goal of supporting women and giving them the resources they need most has not changed. The records in this collection document the transformation from 1895 through the massive restructuring in the 1970s, and ends at 1990, providing insight and careful documentation of how the Center for Family Justice rose from the original 1895 YWCA.
