Correspondence with Alice Paul, and addresses, 1913-1917.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/36402366

The collection contains six letters between Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul (12, 15, and 19 April, 26 May, and 24 June 1915). Catt asks the more militant Alice Paul to keep a low profile in New York State while an attempt is made to pass a state women's suffrage amendment. Paul's Congressional Union was working on promotion of a federal amendment. The 12 April letter asks for a pledge of no conflict between the groups. The 26 May letter contains Catt's frustration about the bad press after Paul's group heckled the President in New York. Paul responded to each letter. On 19 April Catt wrote to Harriet Taylor Upton, President of the Ohio Woman Suffrage Association, strongly suggesting her group choose which women's suffrage group they want in Ohio to prevent dissention and to foster strength and unity. Also, contains two printed pamphlets by Catt: Address of the president at the seventh congress of the International woman suffrage alliance, 15 June 1913, and An address to the Congress of the United States, ca. 1917.
