below the limitation statement: "To Mrs. William Allen White/from 
the/National American Woman/Suffrage Association/Carrie Chapman 
Catt/November 26, 1940." Carrie Chapman Catt (1859-1947) succeeded Susan 
B. Anthony as President of the National American Woman Suffrage 
Association in 1900 and played an essential role in bringing about the 
passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920, the same year she founded 
The League of Women Voters. Presumably issued without a dustwrapper as 
this is a Fine copy in a close to Fine example of the original box.

The recipient of this inscription was married to William Allen White, a 
renowned Kansas newspaper editor, politician, author, and leader of the 
Progressive movement who became the iconic spokesman for middle America. 
His autobiography, which was published posthumously, won a 1947 Pulitzer 
Prize. Their son, William L. White, was the author of THEY WERE 
EXPENDABLE which was made into a film by John Ford starring Robert 
Montgomery and John Wayne. (#016103)        $850.00
