Women in History

This is a blog to recognize important women who have changed history or improved the lives of others. I am always open to suggestions of who you'd like you see recognized or submit your own!

Carrie Chapman Catt 

This amazing leader of the women’s suffrage really had an impact on American History. She organized the International Woman Suffrage Alliance (IWSA) and was president of the North American Women’s Suffrage Alliance when Susan B. Anthony had died.

With Catt’s leadership, on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment officially became part of the United States Constitution.

After the amendment passed, she founded the League of Women Voters. 

This amazing woman helped women today in one of the biggest ways; giving us the right to vote! So don’t dishonor her by not voting this year when this election may have a real impact on the rights of other Americans!
