The League of Women Voters was founded by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1920 during the convention of the National American Woman Suffrage Association 6 months before the ratification of the 19th amendment. The League began as a "mighty political experiment" designed to help 20 million women carry out their new responsibilities as voters. It encouraged them to participate in shaping public policy and to become political, by educating citizens about, and lobbying for, government and social reform legislation.

Above the masthead of the Lewiston Evening Journal is the large headline "Ratification of Suffrage Completed." There are three articles on the front page about the passage of the federal suffrage amendment:
"Tennessee House Votes for Federal Amendment/ Vote was 50 to 46, Speaker Walker Changing His Vote to Aye in an Attempt to Have Action Reconsidered-He is Privilege to Call it Up Within the Next Two Days"
After two preliminary procedural votes, the House passed the suffrage resolution with a vote of 49 to 47. Before the final tally, House speaker Seth Walker changed his vote to make the vote 50 to 46, which would allow him to bring up a motion to reconsider the resolution. The article delves into the history of the women's suffrage movement, including Margaret Brent, Abigail Adams, and other prominent historical figures.
"Suffrage Leaders Rejoice at Adoption of Amendment" Carrie Chapman Catt, President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, makes a statement reacting the to the passage of the federal suffrage amendment, and announces the formation of the League of Women Voters.
"Maine Women Must Register / Granting Suffrage to Women Does Not Necessitate Special Legislative Session"
Article discusses Maine's decision not to call special legislative session in order to register women to vote, but rather increase the clerical force to manage the increase in women voter registration prior to the next election.

Flier : The Real Point by Mary Ware Dennett. [Circa 1911-1915]
Catt, Carrie Chapman, 1859-1947
National American Woman Suffrage Association
Women--Legal status, laws, etc.
Mary Ware Dennett was a suffragist, artist, and advocate of birth control and sex education. She served as the field secretary for the Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association and the corresponding secretary of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. From 1910 until 1915 when she resigned, Dennett was responsible for NAWSA's literature department, which produced and distributed millions of pamphlets and leaflets, including this flier.
Dennett argues the men do not have to spend time justifying the many reasons why they would be qualified voters and suffragists should not valuable spend time "giving promises and proof that women will use the vote to good advantage when they get it."
