The neopluralist approach to interest groups emphasizes how context affects group development and survival. Yet these studies focus on modern-day interest populations and not those from the past, when the development of politically oriented voluntary associations occurred in less dense and less competitive environments. Here, we study the effect of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union (the Union), the largest women's association of the late nineteenth century, on what became the largest women's association of the early twentieth century, the General Federation of Women's Clubs (the General Federation). There are three main findings. First, membership growth was mutually supportive; larger state-level membership in the Union predicts later General Federation membership strength. Second, in states with larger Union memberships, state General Federation associations had fewer clubs. Combined, these two findings suggest that Union membership constrained the General Federation's organizational growth while still supporting the expansion of its membership. Third, greater percentages of women's clubs joined directly with the national General Federation in states with smaller state-level Union and General Federation memberships, indicating efforts to build greater connections with women nationally when state-level environments were not as conducive to women's widespread engagement in these two major associations
