Possible contenders may include foremothers who fought for suffrage or a "first woman" in any field. Dressing in character is optional, but always adds to the fun.

About the League of Women Voters
The League of Women Voters was an outgrowth of the 19th amendment passed in 1920 giving women the right to vote. With over 1,000 local Leagues throughout the country, the organization gained prestige by maintaining its nonpartisanship; sponsoring candidates' forums for local, state and national elections; holding registration drives; disseminating nonpartisan information on candidates; and holding public meetings to discuss current issues.
League membership is open to both men and women of voting age who support its mission. For more information about the League of Women Voters of Bergen County, visit the organization's website at lwvbergen.org.
