Editor’s Note: For over 100 years, the League of Women Voters has believed in the “power of women to create a more perfect democracy.” Founded in 1920 by leaders of the suffragist movement in Chicago, the ‘League’ (as it’s affectionately called) is a nonpartisan, unbiased, activist organization that believes that voters “play a critical role in democracy.” The League now has over 700 chapters in 50 states.
