Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics

The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics was founded in 1992 at Iowa State University to interest, educate and engage citizens in the political process. The center's programs blend the resources and scholarship of the academic environment with the experiences of practitioners in fields important to the political process.

The center honors Carrie Chapman Catt, a distinguished alumna of Iowa State, leader of the U.S. women's suffrage movement, founder of the League of Women Voters, crusader for international peace and an advocate for the expansion of women's rights throughout the world.
