Additional Information

The National Junior Suffrage Corps was devised as a wing of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1914. Piloted by the suffragist Caroline Ruutz-Rees in Greenwich, Connecticut, the Corps aimed to get America’s children invested in their political futures. Soon, they had chapters across the country. The logo was designed by artist Elmer MacRae, whose children were involved in the Greenwich chapter of the Corps.
