From 1905 until the 1980s, women were not allowed membership in Rotary clubs, although Rotarian spouses, including Paul Harris ' wife, were often members of the similar " Inner Wheel " club.
Women did play some roles, and Paul Harris ' wife made numerous speeches.
In 1963, it was noted that the Rotary practice of involving wives in club activities had helped to break down female seclusion in some countries.
