Background
Following the triumphant campaign for California suffrage in 1911, many politically active women joined the California Civic
League. Guided by a conscious design of drawing together on terms of equality representatives of as many social groups as
possible for the specific purpose of study and service in the field of politics and civics, league members embarked on an
aggressive reform program.
