| | Abstract: | The League of Women Voters was formed in 1920 in Cleveland, Ohio, by former suffragists and members of the Woman's Suffrage Party. The League is nonpartisan and has endorsed various legislation, including laws to protect female workers and improve child welfare and education. Its efforts include voter registration drives, assistance to election boards, demonstrations of registration and voting techniques, as well as sponsoring candidates debates. The collection consists of annual reports, correspondence, and subject files relating to the group's activities. This collection pertains to the activities and concerns of the women involved in the league, including the Ohio Constitution, public welfare, civil service, voter registration, and food inspection. | |
