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.
These notes feature questions and answers regarding Katzenstein's experiences with the women's suffrage movement. Katzenstein begins by briefly describing the nineteenth century origins of the movement in the United States, then goes on to answer questions relating to the activism and fundraising strategies of the National Woman's Party.
