Join us for breakfast with Carrie Chapman Catt (portrayed by Linda McKenney).

“The League of Women Voters is an effort to make into a working
reality those dreams of a free American … that democracy is something
worth giving a life-time to obtain, that they will not rest until there is an
All-American democracy which lives up to its own boasts.” —Carrie Chapman Catt
