League Through the Decades
Since the beginning, when the League was created in 1920—just six months before women won the right to vote—League members promoted full participation of citizens in our democracy because they understood that’s what it takes to build a strong democracy. League members walk in the footsteps of those early pioneers. Thanks to the work they started, the League has become one of the most influential organizations in America and around the world with nearly 850 local and state Leagues in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, and more than 150,000 members and supporters.
