A half-document box of records relating to the Litchfield Equal Franchise League, organized Sept. 5, 1913. It was an auxiliary of the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association, which had as its mission the securing of the ratification of the 20th Amendment and preparing women for voting. Frances E. Hickox was the first president, serving 1913-1914. Adelaide Deming served next through at least 1920.

A speech given by interntionally-renowned reformer and women's rights advocate Rev. Dr. Anna H. Shaw at Litchfield's town hall on Oct. 2, 1913 is documented by announcements, broadsides, and a Litchfield Enquirer. The League participated in the Votes for Women Pageant and Parade organized by the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association held in Hartford on May 2, 1914, and the records contain several items relating to it, including an official program.

The records also contain flyers; a poster for an unnamed event on the topic, "Should Connecticut ratify the suffrage amendment?"; an undated ms. copy of the League's constitution and bylaws; stationery; a Mar. 29, 1917, letter from Deming to F. M. Granniss; and a Apr. 29, 1920, Litchfield Enquirer with a front page article, "Suffrage Visitors."

Oversized posters/broadsides are located in 18B Box 17.
