Tasker Polk letter introducing Caroline Katzenstein, 20 March 1909

Description

Caroline Katzenstein, born in 1888, was a leader in the Pennsylvania suffrage movement. She served in official positions for the Equal Franchise Society of Philadelphia, the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and the National Woman’s Party. After the Nineteenth Amendment was ratified, Katzenstein wrote about her experiences in the women's suffrage movement and continued to promote the Equal Rights Amendment until her death in 1968.
This letter of recommendation, written by Tasker Polk of Citizens Bank of Warrenton, introduces Katzenstein as a woman of "culture, refinement, and marked business ability." Katzenstein was a successful insurance agent, working for Equitable Life Insurance Society of New York, the Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Company (Philadelphia Branch), and the Philadelphia Life Insurance Company.
