Historical Note

The League of Women Voters was established in 1920 as a successor to the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Its original intent - to serve for five years as a resource center for newly franchised women, and then disband - was expanded to "promote political responsibility through informed and active participation of citizens in government" by means of a permanent volunteer organization. Central body of the League in Washington State.
