Empire State Campaign Committee (New York, NY)

Hide Profile

In 1913, the Empire State Campaign Committee was formed as a coalition of women’s suffrage organisations. Led by Carrie Chapman Catt, the committee aimed to bring together women’s movements from across New York in an effort to win the vote for women there in 1915. Although this referendum was defeated, it was eventually passed two years later.
