Description
Carrie Chapman Catt (January 9, 1859 - March 9, 1947) was a women's suffrage leader. She graduated from Iowa State College where she was a member of Pi Beta Ph and valedictorian of her class. She became a close colleague of Susan B. Anthony, who selected Catt to succeed her as head of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). She supervised dozens of campaigns, mobilized volunteers, and made hundreds of speeches. After the passage of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, she retired from NAWSA and founded the League of Women Voters. In the same year, she ran as the Presidential candidate for the Commonwealth Land Party. Charcoal and chalk on paper by Samuel Johnson Woolf, 1939 (cropped and cleaned).
