League of Women Voters of Cook County (Cook County, Ill.)
Variant namesBiographical notes:
The League of Women Voters of the United States was formed in 1919 when the Nineteenth Amendment enfranchising women was passed. It grew out of the National Women's Suffrage Association. The League of Women Voters of Chicago was organized in 1950, when ten Chicago-area chapters of the League of Women Voters of Cook County merged. The League's objectives are to encourage full participation in the electoral process and to lobby the government for legislation of special concern to women. Such issues have included housing, civil liberties, public schools and child labor.
