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 were drafted in preparation for a broadcast over WMAL in Washington D.C. The questions relate to Katzenstein's motives for supporting women's suffrage and the process of ratifying the Nineteenth Amendment.
