This series includes several biographical sketches as well as clippings about Catt's political activities, including women's suffrage and pacifism; her obituaries; information regarding the Carrie Chapman Catt memorial fund; and personal photographs.

Correspondence comprises roughly a quarter of the collection. Of particular interest to scholars may be Catt's involvement in political machinations surrounding the naming of a new police chief in Washington, D.C in 1919. In addition, there is correspondence with state senators and representatives regarding support for a federal amendment granting women's suffrage; with President Woodrow Wilson; with colleagues within the National American Woman Suffrage Association; and regarding her peace activism. This series offers insight into the skilled political organization that was required, and achieved in large measure by Catt, in order for the women's suffrage movement to be successful.

Catt's writings are extensive and include pamphlets, articles, brochures and speeches written on behalf of the National American Woman Suffrage Movement, the National League of Women Voters, the International Alliance of Women for Suffrage and Equal Citizenship, and the National Committee on the Cause and Cure of War. Also included are speeches promoting the adoption of a federal women's suffrage amendment; memoranda regarding charges that Catt had “communist sympathies”; and the Carrie Chapman Catt Citizenship Course, a year-long segment appearing in The Woman Citizen, designed to educate women voters.

These files are comprised of a collection of photographs documenting the Women's Land Army, a collection of suffrage cartoons, and miscellaneous writings and reports on subjects and activities pertaining to women's suffrage. The photographs are arranged in two folders with copies appearing first and originals in the second folder. Similarly, the cartoons are arranged in five folders; dated copies appear first, followed by dated originals. Undated copies are arranged in alphabetical order by title or by first word of text. Writings include the Report of the Eighth Conference for the International Woman Suffrage Alliance; miscellaneous writings on women's suffrage, including an article appearing in The Woman Citizen; and a program of the Women's Centennial Congress.
