1973 National Women's Political Caucus Convention Tote Bag w. Susan B Anthony

Tote Bag is from the first convention of the National Women's Political Caucus...

"The NWPC was founded on July 10, 1971 to increase the number of women in all aspects of political life – as elected and appointed officials, as judges in state and federal courts, and as delegates to national conventions. On that date, 320 women from all over the United States met in Washington, D.C., to found the NWPC. The founders included Bella Abzug, Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan, Fannie Lou Hamer, Mildred Jeffrey, and Gloria Steinem, among others. The founders elected a national policy council, initially co-chaired by Bella Abzug and Republican Virginia Allan; Allan was the former chair of President Richard Nixon's Task Force on Women's Rights and Responsibilities. At the founding meeting, Steinem delivered an Address to the Women of America, in which she characterized feminism as a "revolution" that meant striving for a society free of racism and sexism; the speech, delivered at the height of the women's movement, became a milestone in U.S. female oratory.

The NWPC held its first convention in Houston from February 9 to 11, 1973. The NWPC created a Democratic Task Force in 1974 and a Republican Task force in 1975." [Wikipedia]
