[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother was a member and I think it was because she moved in very political circles from the 1940s-1980s or so. She was a real Washington society doyenne. [/quote]

Women weren't allowed to join until recently. Sorry.[/quote]

Then I guess she had spousal privileges? Not really sure, it isn’t my type of thing. But I definitely went there a ton with her. [/quote]

My scientist father was a member when he married my mom in the early 1960's.  She made him quit because she thought it was sexist only men could join and women were only allow in the building on certain occasions.

Then, maybe 30 years later, well after my parents were divorced and well after women were allowed as members, my dad wrote a one sentence letter to the club that said something like, "While I resigned my membership in 1963, I wish to reconsider." and they let him back in.  He used to hang out there in his old age and he'd invite us to dinner.  The food is terrible but it is fun to go there anyway occasionally.[/quote]
