Carrie Chapman Catt's childhood experiences at her family farmhouse in Iowa inspired her lifelong fight for women's voting rights. After becoming one of the first women to serve as a school superintendent, she led the National American Woman Suffrage Association and developed the "Winning Plan," which helped secure the **19th Amendment** in 1920. She also founded the League of Women Voters, and today her restored childhood home serves as a museum honoring her legacy.
