Records of the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, an organization founded in 1920 to provide non-partisan political education to newly-enfranchised women voters and to promote support for needed legislation. Consisting of correspondence, minutes and reports, newsclippings, and print and near-print materials issued by the League, the collection concerns local chapters' activities and state League work in areas such as child welfare, education, taxation, and women's rights. Primary correspondents include the League's first president, Jessie Jack Hooper, and subsequent officers M. V. O'Shea, Cornelia Groth, Caryl A. Regan, Carroll Gundersen, and F. A. Marshall.

Biography/History
The plan for the League of Women Voters was launched by Carrie Chapman Catt in 1919, in anticipation of adoption of the Nineteenth Amendment granting suffrage to women. The League's purpose was to provide non-partisan political education for the new voters and to promote support for needed legislation.
The Wisconsin League of Women Voters, an affiliate of the national League of Women Voters, came into existence in February, 1920, at a mass meeting called by the Wisconsin Women's Suffrage Association in Milwaukee. Mrs. Henry M. Youmans of Waukesha, president of the latter organization, presided over the meeting and presented the proposal of Carrie Chapman Catt to have the Suffrage Association, whose mission had been fulfilled, replaced by the League of Women Voters. Mrs. Jessie Jack Hooper of Oshkosh was elected the first president of the Wisconsin League. Within a short time a number of local leagues were functioning in affiliation with the state organization.
Scope and Content Note
The records of the Wisconsin League of Women Voters, 1920-1968, consist of correspondence; minutes and reports; and printed and near-print material including bulletins, press releases, circulars, mimeo-graphed statements, pamphlets, broadsides, and periodicals relating to League business and interests. Also included in the collection are miscellaneous clippings concerning various League functions and activities.
The collection is organized into four series: Correspondence, Local Leagues, Subject Files, and Miscellaneous Administrative and Printed Material.
The first series, CORRESPONDENCE, consists of general correspondence, 1920-1963, arranged chronologically by month, and is primarily concerned with League business and legislative matters. There is some correspondence with various Wisconsin legislators and congressmen.
The second series, LOCAL LEAGUES, consists of correspondence, reports, minutes, printed material, and clippings arranged chronologically within folders and filed under the local league to which they relate. The folders are arranged alphabetically by city. The material here is primarily concerned with the organization, affiliation, and activities of the local leagues and their relations with the state and national leagues.
The SUBJECT FILES include a small amount of correspondence, printed and near-print material originated by the state and national leagues, and clippings arranged alphabetically by subject and chronologically within subjects. The subjects reflect areas of League interest; very intense interest is shown concerning child welfare, education, taxation, and women's rights. Other subjects are very broad and reflect less active concern such as material relating to Dumbarton Oaks and atomic energy. Of note in this series are a group of election questionnaires, 1941-1968, (Boxes 33 and 34) which were distributed by the various local leagues and the state league to candidates for public office. On these the candidates stated their backgrounds, qualifications, and opinions on the issues of the day.
The last series, MISCELLANEOUS ADMINISTRATIVE AND PRINTED MATERIAL, includes files relating to administrative and business matters such as membership and finances and files of printed material generated by or of interest to the League. The administrative material and printed material is arranged alphabetically by folder title and chronologically by year within folders. It should be noted that most of the serial publications among the printed material have large gaps in sequence. Boxes 58 through 69 of this series include miscellaneous printed and near-print material and circulars, 1921-1964, arranged chronologically by year.
Related Material
The researcher should note two other Historical Society collections relating to the League of Women Voters: The Jessie Jack Hooper Papers (Wis Mss IU) and the Wisconsin Women's Suffrage Association Papers (Wis Mss HV). Mrs. Hooper, as mentioned above, was an organizer and early official of the Wisconsin League, and the Wisconsin Women's Suffrage Association was the direct predecessor of the Wisconsin League of Women Voters.
Administrative/Restriction Information
Presented by the Wisconsin League of Women Voters, Madison, Wis., June 1961 through July 1964, via Mrs. Marie Rischmueller, secretary.
