Empowering voters. Defending democracy. Improving lives. "Raising Our Voices: League of Women Voters of Metro St. Louis 1960-2022" demonstrates how League members advocated for change during six decades of tremendous upheaval. As a sequel to Avis Carlson's history "The First 40 Years," this book covers the next 62 years of League work. It includes member advocacy on controversial issues such as busing and school discrimination, the Equal Rights Amendment, election and campaign finance reform, voter suppression, and the National Popular Vote. In addition to these headline-makers, the book chronicles the everyday work of the League to improve the St. Louis community and protect the rights of its citizens. Each decade includes information on League efforts focused on: ¿ Voter services ¿ Key issues such as education and the environment ¿ Redistricting ¿ Women's history In addition, the book profiles more than 20 key League members in honor of their contributions that made a difference in those decades. Not just an essential read for League members, "Raising Our Voices" is an important resource for the entire St. Louis area and will inspire women's history buffs from coast to coast. Part local history, part collective memoir, it captures the valuable and ongoing work of this organization to educate and empower voters and improve the status of women in the St. Louis area, the state of Missouri, and nationwide.
