Carrie Chapman Catt, A True Heavy Hitter in Political History
Central Iowa has a number of fascinating history in the political world and one of the most interesting is Carrie Chapman Catt, a leader of the U.S. woman suffrage movement, founder of the League of Women Voters, crusader for international peace, and an advocate for the expansion of women’s rights throughout the world.  How interesting it is to study the movement, to see the difficulties that the movement had to overcome to gain equality in the polls for women and the dedication of women (and some men) to the cause in the Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics located on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames.
If you have an interest in politics and want to study the history of the women’s movement you will want to visit Central Iowa and the museum at ISU.
