Young Womens Christian Association of San Diego County

About This Association

Founded in 1908, YWCA San Diego County was spearheaded by Mrs. G. Aubrey Davidson, an accomplished civic and community leader, and Dr. Charlotte Johnson Baker, a pioneer of the women’s suffrage movement in California and the first female physician to practice medicine in San Diego. Together, they were joined by a prominent group of women leaders — Alice Carey Waterman, Mrs. A. E. Frost, May Virginia Landis, Elizabeth LeBreton Marston, Dr. Lena Creswell, Ella Laura Sheldon, Fanny Hodges Newman, Mrs. George G. Garrettson, and Ellen Artha Morse — to formally incorporate the organization and help disadvantaged women through cultural, social, and economic improvement programs.
