About the Catt Center

The Carrie Chapman Catt Center for Women and Politics was founded in 1992 in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Iowa State University to interest, educate and engage citizens in the political process. The center honors Carrie Chapman Catt—distinguished alumna of Iowa State, leader of the U.S. women’s suffrage movement, crusader for international peace, and advocate for the expansion of women’s rights throughout the world.
