About
the Pine Bluff League of Women Voters
The
League of Women Voters
was founded in 1919 as a nonpartisan organization to inform
the electorate and increase citizen participation in government.
The Pine Bluff League of Women Voters was founded in 1952 by
Mrs. Amy Quattlebaum, Mrs. John Rust, Mrs. Frank Williamson,
Miss Mary Lena McCullogh, and other Pine Bluff and Jefferson
County women. Like other leagues, this chapter focused on local
social, economic, and political issues such as education, elections,
the environment, housing, and planning. The Pine Bluff League
of Women Voters has been inactive since 1983.
