League of Women Voters of Minnesota

The League of Women Voters of Minnesota (LWVM) was organized in October 1919 in meetings called by the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association. Clara Ueland served as its first president, and after a few months she was succeeded by Marguerite Wells.

The Minnesota League worked closely with the National League of Women Voters (LWV), which was organized at the same time, and with local Minnesota Leagues functioning in the congressional districts. The records reflect the intertwining of activities from local to national level, the common objectives sought, and the exchange of information among the various units.
