Catharine Waugh McCulloch Papers

Description

The McCulloch series of the Dillon collection has been divided into four subseries: Personal and biographical, Writings and speeches, General correspondence, Suffrage and woman's rights.
The papers primarily document CWM's research on women's legal status, and also her work with the Illinois Equal Suffrage Association (IESA), the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), and the League of Women Voters (LWV). There is also documentation of women in the legal profession and of CWM's friendships with other women suffragists and lawyers, and some biographical material. The papers contain little information about her family or social life.
