Carrie Chapman Catt
Carrie Chapman Catt (January 9, 1859 – March 9, 1947) was an American women's suffrage leader who campaigned for the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which gave U.S. women the right to vote. One of the best-known women of her time, Catt served as President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1900 to 1904 and again from 1915 to 1920. She founded the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, later named the International Alliance of Women in 1904, and the League of Women Voters in 1920.Photograph credit: unknown; restored by Adam Cuerden
