Votes for Women and the Century Club Founder
The Woman's Century Club marks its 19th anniversary with a vote to send greetings to Carrie Lane Chapman Catt. The piece lauds her leadership in the suffrage movement, Seattle’s honor to have her as a longtime figure, and the club's role as a suffrage nucleus within federated clubs. It argues for universal enfranchisement, unity in essentials, liberty in nonessentials, and charity in all things as the nation moves toward a new era of women’s rights.
