On August 22, 1924, the La Crosse chapter of The League of Women Voters was established at a meeting at Alice Hixon's house where she invited then Wisconsin League President, Mrs. Harry Thomas of Sheboygan, to explain its mission as "Getting out the women's vote and educational work along political lines." At the time, the focus was on educating women only since this right had recently been established in 1920. Our mission is similar today, as we strive to empower all eligible voters and defend democracy.
