	“University City and the American Woman’s League” was published by the Lewis Publishing Company. It is undated, but was probably printed in March 1908. It was intended to be a promotional piece for University City, featuring Lewis’ “University City Plan” for development in the recently incorporated city, as well as for the American Woman's League with its broad range of benefits. Original plans for the League included not only the correspondence school and a postal library, but also a retreat for indigent members, an orphanage, and a loan and relief fund. An exchange program, under the supervision of the People’s University, was intended to provide members with an outlet for fancywork and other products that they made in their homes. (Note: Pages 17 and 18 are missing)
	“The People’s University” was designed as a promotional brochure targeting teachers. Management of the American Woman’s League realized that teachers, especially those in more rural areas, might not be able to fulfill the subscription sales membership requirement. As an alternative, they offered to sell selected correspondence courses to teachers or to those interested in teaching. Courses included those for a Teacher Certificate, in special teaching methods and some college preparation courses. The League also offered a Secondary Teacher’s Review Bulletin intended to provide a summary and bibliography of current articles of interest to educators.
	“American Woman’s League and the People’s University” was a major promotional brochure for the League. It included a description of the League and the University, along with a description of each division of the University. Several photographs are included, featuring staff and school buildings.

	Issue 1 of Volume I of “The Pioneer of an American Woman’s Republic” was published by the American Woman’s League probably in the spring of 1911. The first several pages contain a detailed explanation of the American Woman’s Republic and its structure and organization. Photographs of the cabinet officers appear with a listing of all the state governors/regents of the Republic. This publication also includes an extensive report on the activities of the local chapters. Several pages are devoted to the People’s University and the Art Academy, and many of the products of the Art Academy are offered for sale. This was the first and probably the only edition of the “Pioneer.” No other issues have been located.
