Individual Membership
$60.00 year Two memberships in the same house $85.00 per year Student membership $10.00 per year Joyce Peterson Membership Grant Click HERE |
You may not realize this, but most of the $60 basic membership goes to the national and state League organizations to support their very important work of advocacy, lobbying and keeping the League strong and visible around the country. Our League retains only $9 of your $60 dues.
Any additional dues and donations support all the local activities we do (and more we would like to do) to empower voters and defend democracy. Our expenses include fixed costs for our website, post office box and Zoom account, as well as smaller costs for postage and copying. And we try to cover at least some of the costs for one or two board members to attend the Washington League’s state convention.
We have a new way for you to support our important work on Whidbey Island. We are offering several premium membership levels named for some of Washington state’s early suffragists.

Emma Smith DeVoe Membership Level: $150
DeVoe (1848-1927), the first president of WESA, “brought plenty of political experience and tactics ranging from parades to posters and publicity stunts, all delivered with a polite ‘ladylike’ approach.” Mary Arkwright Hutton Membership Level: $125 Vice-president Hutton (1860-1915) “preferred a one-on-one approach, foregoing public demonstrations.” She strongly supported working women and labor. Dr. Cora Smith Eaton Membership Level: $100 Treasurer Smith (1867-1939) “was a practicing doctor and founding member of The Mountaineers, eventually climbing six of the state’s largest mountains.” Bernice A. Sapp Membership Level: $75 Auditor Sapp (1881-1965) “meticulously recorded and indexed all the group’s letters and manuscripts, creating an invaluable archive.” *Washington was the fifth state in the nation to give women the vote, with voters approving a constitutional amendment on November 8, 1910. Susan B. Anthony helped form the Washington Equal Suffrage Association (WESA) in the 1870s. All information about these suffragists and the WESA is taken from the book “Dead Feminists: Historic Heroines in Living Color,” by Chandler O’Leary and Jessica Spring |
