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.
