League of Women Voters of Connecticut

The Connecticut State Library reports that it has completed digitizing the Gladys Bragdon Suffrage Interviews Notebook, 1918, (RG 106) and that images are now available online at CSL's Flickr site. 

The notebook contains handwritten entries of interviews conducted with approximately 129 prominent men both in and outside local and state government about their position and views on giving women the right to vote. Bragdon recorded in the small black notebook the men’s names, job title or position in government, party affiliation, if they signed a petition, interests, changed views, and if they supported the federal amendment. The interviews helped the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association (CWSA) and the New Haven Equal Franchise League (NHEFL) gather information about who and who did not support voting rights for women.
