The group belongs to the larger Illinois Federation of Republican Women which traces its roots back to 1896 when a group of Illinois women recognized the significance of political action after being granted the right to vote in school elections. It was not until the 19th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified on Aug. 18, 1920, that women were federally guaranteed the right to vote.
