Abstract: |
The League of Women Voters was founded in 1920, the year American women were granted the right to vote by the passage of the 19th Amendment. The League has since grown into a nationwide organization that works to promote political responsibility on the part of all citizens. It is non-partisan and does not support or oppose political parties or candidates, but it does take stands on public issues, after conducting extensive studies and reaching a consensus of the membership. The Dayton Area League of Women Voters was organized in May of 1920 and has enjoyed an unbroken record of active participation in local, state, national and international issues and politics since that time. It is currently known as the League of Women Voters of the Greater Dayton Area (LWVGDA). |
