Elaborately-produced and nicely printed souvenir program for a very early meeting of this venerable women's political organization, founded in 1919 by Carrie Chapman Catt and Maud Wood Park. Includes a full roster of the League's national and local officers, along with the complete Convention schedule. Of particular interest is a three-day pre-Convention program, "The Pan American Conference of Women," which brought together representatives of women's groups from the United States, Canada, and many Latin American countries. Numerous ads for Baltimore-area businesses; sightseeing information for Baltimore, Annapolis, and Washington, D.C., and many halftone illustrations including portraits and views. Uncommon; WorldCat finds one location only (Harvard); none others in commerce.
