Charles Dickenshied letter, undated

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 from Charles Deckenshied, one of Katzenstein's coworkers, authorizes her to take care of his business dealings during his convalescence. The letter was written while Caroline worked at the Philadelphia branch of the Massachusetts Bonding and Insurance Company.
