Abstract:

This article highlights the League of Women Voters in North Carolina (NCLWV) during the 1950s. It also details the founding of the chapter and early history as well as its involvement in civic and community improvement for women during the 1920s. Disbanded in 1936 because of racial and social issues, the organization reorganized in 1951. The social climate for Southern women in the 1950s is discussed at length as well as the causes they championed.
