Title

William Draper Lewis letter to Carol Stone [Caroline Katzenstein], 22 November 1939

Description

Caroline Katzenstein was a prominent suffragist in the years leading up to the Nineteenth Amendment. In addition to her continued support for the Equal Rights Amendment, Katzenstein spent much of her time writing essays and articles under the pseudonym Carol Stone. Her 1939 essay, "The Sporting Spirit," documents her utopian ideals and urges her readers to think in terms of individual morality for the common good. She disseminated her essay to dozens of the most luminous academics and political figures of the time. This letter is from William Draper Lewis, the first full-time dean of the University of Pennsylvania Law School.
