The greater part of the manuscripts,1890-1920, relates to Catt's efforts to secure the ballot for women. General Correspondence and Subject File series in thecollection reveal the tactics she employed in achieving this goal. After the adoption of the nineteenth amendment to theUnited States Constitution in 1920, the subject matter of the collection reflects Catt's increasing concern with the settlementof international problems and the establishment of a world peace organization.
