Outstanding pairing of autographs from two of the most important reformers and women’s rights leaders of the early 20th century.
Included is a Jane Addams autograph, inscribed “Faithfully yours, Jane Addams, Hull-House, Chicago,” on a 5.5" x 7" sheet affixed with a printed newspaper photograph. Addams, the pioneering founder of Hull-House in Chicago, was awarded the 1931 Nobel Peace Prize for her humanitarian and peace efforts, becoming the first American woman to receive the honor.
Also present is a Carrie Chapman Catt autograph, signed “Carrie Chapman Catt, Jan 26, 1933” on a 5.5" x 2.5" slip. Catt, a central figure in the fight for women’s suffrage, served as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association and led the campaign that culminated in the passage of the 19th Amendment. She later founded the League of Women Voters, cementing her place as one of the most significant women’s rights activists in U.S. history.
