Scope and Content NoteThe papers of Carrie Lane Chapman Catt (1859-1947), which span the years 1848-1950, reflect her steadfast dedication totwo major ideals--the rights of women, particularly the right to vote, and world peace. The greater part of the manuscripts,1890-1920, relates to Catt's efforts to secure the ballot for women. General Correspondence and Subject File series in thecollection reveal the tactics she employed in achieving this goal. After the adoption of the nineteenth amendment to theUnited States Constitution in 1920, the subject matter of the collection reflects Catt's increasing concern with the settlementof international problems and the establishment of a world peace organization.

Her papers include diaries which recount in great detail her trip around the world on behalf of woman suffrage in1911-1912, and substantial correspondence with prominent leaders of the women's movement. Notable among her




correspondents are Alice Stone Blackwell, Ida Husted Harper, Mary Garrett Hay, Clara Hyde, Rosette Suzanne Manus,Maud Wood Park, Mary Gray Peck, Rosika Schwimmer, Edna Lamprey Stantial, and Justina Leavitt Wilson.

There is an extensive file of Catt's speeches and articles, most of which deal with woman's rights and peace. In the SubjectFile are biographical papers, awards, and birthday tributes, as well as manuscripts relating to the Woman's CentennialCongress of 1940, the National Committee on the Cause and Cure of War, and other organizations with which Catt wasaffiliated.
