Equal Suffrage League of Virginia
The Equal Suffrage League of Virginia was organized in 1909 in Richmond, Virginia. Its primary purpose was to publicize and propagandize women's issues in the state, with the goal to win the political vote. Virginia was one of the six states which did not ratify the amendment. The final board meeting of the Equal Suffrage League was on November 8, 1920, and it became the League of Women Voters on November 10, 1920.
Ida Mae Thompson, headquarters secretary of the Equal Suffrage League from 1913 to its dissolution in 1920, collected these papers in 1938 in response to a request by the Works Progress Administration.
From the description of Papers, ca. 1909-1935. (Unknown). WorldCat record id: 145409434
