About The League of Women Voters of Lower Merion and Narberth

The League of Women Voters was organized in 1920 after the passage of the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote. The League was formed by Carrie Chapman Catt and others in order to assist women in exercising the right to vote and to study issues of public interest, come to a consensus on a position and to take the necessary action. This mission now extends to all citizens in the ongoing effort to make democracy work.

Men are welcomed as members in the League even though its name reflects its historical origins.
