Chafe, Duke University PAPERS OF THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS, 1918– 1974 National Office Subject Files, 1920– 1932 Advisory Editor: Dr. Susan Ware, Visiting Scholar, Radcliffe College Scholars concerned with the history of women in twentieth-century America should rejoice at the availability of these papers, which will enrich our understanding of the “woman citizen” and enhance research on a wide range of topics. — Dr. Pat King Director, The Schlesinger Library Radcliffe College We are pleased to announce the latest installment in our ongoing research collection, Papers of the League of Women Voters, 1918– 1974. This new installment, National Office Subject Files, 1920– 1932, affords an intimate look at the League’s early years through the copious correspondence and other records of its officers, associates, members, and critics. While Parts I and II of the series (previously published) document the evolution of the League’s identity and goals during its first half-century by featuring the key files relating to the Board of Directors and the National Conventions, this first installment of National Office Subject Files captures the important details of day-to-day operations and developments by focusing on the working papers of the League’s formative years. The voluminous Subject Files of the League of Women Voters’ national headquarters— comprising office files, program files, permanent department files, correspondence with emi­ nent individuals and allied groups, and records of attacks upon the League and its programs— form the largest component of the League holdings in the Library of Congress. From this mass of original documents, UPA’s new collection has been carefully selected and organized. Much superfluous office communication has been systematically excluded, while other materials have been condensed when appropriate. The resulting collection, National Office Subject Files, 1920– 1932, represents a noteworthy contribution to the study of women in the American political process; moreover, it will doubtless prove to be a fertile resource for scholars of U.S. history, local and national political development, cultural history, and sociology.
