Carrie Chapman Catt, monoprint with Chine collé, 18 ¾ "x 12 15/16", 1992
(1859 – 1947)
The women’s right to vote in the United States is owed largely to the efforts of Carrie Chapman Catt.
Born in Wisconsin and educated at Iowa State, Catt left work as a high school principle and later as a newspaper editor to join the fight for women’s suffrage.
Skilled as a lecturer, Catt rose rapidly to national leadership, succeeding Susan B. Anthony as president of the National/American Women’s Suffrage Association in 1900.
Catt’s pressure on President Woodrow Wilson and her tireless work to secure state ratification, culminated in the Nineteenth Amendment’s adoption in 1920.
Following suffrage work, Catt devoted herself to peace and disarmament issues, serving as chair of the Committee on the Cause and Cure of War.
The Women’s Rights Historical Park exhibited the growing series in 1995 during the 75th anniversary of women’s suffrage. The Oberlin College Library offered their photo archive of early women attendees and graduates that also including African American women. The artist exhibited 19th Century Women at Oberlin College, a collaboration between Oberlin College and FAVA Art Center in 1996. Oberlin subsequently purchased the more than 20 works they keep on rotating display throughout college buildings. In 2018, the Oberlin College library, changed its name to the Mary Church Terrell Library, and Suzanne received a commission to create a large monoprint using photos of this pioneer African American Civil Rights activist. An exhibit of the library’s holdings of Suzanne’s monoprints were exhibited at the official re- naming ceremony.
Most of the artworks in this series have been acquired. The Women’s Rights National Historical Park, Seneca Falls, NY; the Radcliffe/Harvard Schlesinger Library, Cambridge, MA; Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH; Central Connecticut College, New Britain, CT; and the Ridgebury Congregational Church, Ridgefield, CT keep the works on permanent display. Others from the series are owned by the Allyn Museum, Oberlin, OH; St Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts, St Petersburg, FL; Lyman Allen Museum, New London, CT; and the Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, CT.
