Made around 1923 and filed under the Minnesota League of Women Voters, this glass negative documents a women's civic organization in the first years after the Nineteenth Amendment gave American women the right to vote. The national League was founded in 1920 to help new voters understand government and candidates, and its state branches organized meetings, education drives, and public forums. The title comes from information written on the negative sleeve and has not been independently verified, so the people pictured and the exact occasion remain uncertain. Streaks and blemishes across the image come from natural deterioration in the original glass coatings, which is common in negatives of this age.
