League of Women Voters celebrates 90 years

Ninety years ago, Carrie Chapman Catt* first proposed a League of Women Voters to "finish the fight" and work to end all discrimination against women. And so the League of Women Voters was founded on Valentine's Day in 1920, six months before the ratification of the 19th Amendment giving women the right to vote.

"To the wrongs that need resistance, to the right that needs assistance, to the future in the distance, give yourselves."
