Carrie Chapman Catt ( 09 January 1859 – 09 March 1947) was an American women's suffrage leader and political activist. She played a significant role in the women's suffrage movement in the United States and was a key figure in the fight for women's right to vote.
Catt served as the president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and later played a crucial role in the establishment of the League of Women Voters. She was a skilled organizer and speaker, and her strategic approach helped mobilize support for the suffrage cause.
Carrie Chapman Catt was instrumental in the final push for the ratification of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted women the right to vote. The amendment was ratified in 1920, and Catt continued her work in advocating for women's rights and international peace throughout her life.
