  • The League of Women Voters, Social Change, and Civic Education in 1920'S Ohio
    THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS, SOCIAL CHANGE, AND CIVIC EDUCATION IN 1920'S OHIO Rebekah A. S. Brown A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2019 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Nicole Jackson © 2019 Rebekah Amanda Sherman Brown All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor After the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, the League of Women Voters worked on the national, state, and local levels for gradual institutional reform. Using Western Ohio as a regional focus, this thesis shows how the Ohio League of Women Voters (OLWV) articulated a vision for post-suffrage women’s activism during the interwar period. To do this, the OLWV built upon pre-existing reform structures, especially when trying to involve rural women in its reform measures. As an organization of mostly elite, urban women, the OLWV struggled to construct a broad-based women’s coalition post-suffrage. Though the OLWV operated within a dense network of women’s organizations that both cooperated and competed, it’s role within the rural reform tradition has been understudied. This thesis analyzes records from the OLWV archives alongside local agricultural reform institutions like the Grange and Farm Women’s Clubs to construct a picture of how these organizations interacted to pursue reform in the 1920s. Over the 1920s, the OLWV shifted its strategy from suffrage-era calls for female unity to specific focus on recruiting college women and promoting urban reform priorities. The OLWV’s struggles to include rural women, among many other groups, and its reinvention in the post-suffrage era shows the formation of a new reform synthesis within the women’s reform movement.

    LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS® www.lwv.org Introduction The U.S. presidential election is the biggest event in American politics. It’s an exciting and complicated process that begins immediately after the preceding election and doesn’t end until the voters have their say. What happens during this extended campaign is a quest not just for votes, but also for political contributions, favorable media coverage, online advertising exposure, social media – likes & tweets, endorsements, and all the other makings of a winning candidacy for the highest elected office in America. Key events along the way include the primaries and caucuses, the party conventions, and the debates—not to mention all the speeches, polls, and focus groups, plus the barrage of radio and television commercials imploring you to vote this way or that. It’s easy to be overwhelmed. And that’s why the League of Women Voters produced this supplement. It is an update of the 2012 Newspaper in Education supplement, based on the LWV publication Choosing the President 2008: A Citizen’s Guide to the Electoral Process.
