Title

Caroline Katzenstein letter to Alice Paul, 14 October 1948

Description

Even after women's suffrage was won in 1920, the National Woman's Party continued to fight for an Equal Rights Amendment. This letter from Caroline Katzenstein was sent to Alice Paul, the chairman of the national executive committee of NWP and a key figure of the women's rights movement. The letter included a number of small donations made out to the NWP, and provides an update on a series of memberships and larger donations that were sent directly to the party's headquarters in Washington D.C. The second page of the letter deals with NWP politics and work lobbying congress to pass the Equal Rights Amendment.
