Mayor John Cooper’s Office of Community Engagement invites Nashvillians to attend a conversation about Women in Metro.
After years of little activity due to the Great Depression and World War II, the League of Women Voters reorganized in 1948 under the leadership of Molly Todd. The group quickly became engaged in political issues in Nashville and Davidson County, conducting research on government and taking positions on issues of importance to the city and county. All of Nashville's women who are active in politics today, whether by holding an elected office or being an activist or community organizer, owe these women a debt of gratitude.
