English, French, Spanish, Latin Historical Note The Daughters of Isabella (DOI) is a Catholic laywomen's charitable organization established in 1897 in New Haven, Connecticut, as a ladies' auxiliary to the Knights of Columbus Russell Council #65. The organization's namesake is Queen Isabella of Spain, patroness and financier of Christopher Columbus. In 1904, the organization incorporated as "Daughters of Isabella #1, Auxiliary to Russell Council #65, Knights of Columbus." In 1907, the organization changed its name to "National Circle, Daughters of Isabella" and revised its charter to authorize it to form other circles with the name "Daughters of Isabella" throughout the United States and any other country. The revised charter was submitted to the Connecticut General Assembly and approved on July 25, 1907. In 1903, another Daughters of Isabella was incorporated in Utica, New York with the authority to establish circles in any state. This authority led to a legal dispute between the Connecticut and New York organizations about the right to the Isabella name. The National Circle first won an injunction in 1905 against the Utica Daughters from opening courts in Connecticut with the name Isabella. In 1915, the Connecticut National Circle requested a preliminary injunction against the Utica Daughters to prohibit their use of the name Isabella anywhere in the U.S. A New York judge refused the injunction. A two week trial followed in March 1917 in Albany, New York, and in 1918 the case was decided in Utica's favor. Charles Roberts, attorney for the Daughters of Isabella, National Circle, appealed to the Second Circuit of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The Court reversed the New York ruling. Utica requested a hearing in the U.S. Supreme Court but was denied. In 1921, the Utica organization changed its name to the Catholic Daughters of America (CDA). In the following years, several CDA courts with the name of Isabella dissolved and joined the DOI to preserve their name. Clergy, bishops, and even Archbishop John Francis Noll (1875-1956) of Fort Wayne, Indiana, urged the Daughters of Isabella to merge with the Catholic Daughters of the Americas, but the organizations have remained separate. The Daughters of Isabella is organized into three circles: the International Circle, which is the main governing body convening biennially; state circles, which also convene biennially; and local or subordinate circles, which meet monthly to conduct business and social, charitable, and spiritual programs. The organization is led by an International Regent who sits on the Board with other international officers, such as Vice Regent, Past Regent, and Secretary/Treasurer. These officers are elected at the biennial international conventions. The Board meets annually to assist national officers. Constitutions and by-laws were established at the earliest annual conventions. Local circles are governed according to the International Circle's constitution and by-law. A new circle must submit all specific by-laws and its charter to the International Regent and the International Secretary for approval. The charter authorizes the circle to hold meetings, recruit members, collect dues, raise funds, and conduct conferrals. The circle organizer presents the charter to the new circle as part of the Isabellan ritual and the charter remains on display at every meeting. Each level of circle holds ceremonies to install officers. There are also induction ceremonies for new members. Similar to the Knights of Columbus, the Daughters' induction ceremonies are secret. A secret password is required to verify membership at meetings. Induction ceremonies were first called initiations, and then changed to "conferral of degrees." There are three degrees or stages involving the cross and the crown, symbolic of both Christ and Queen Isabella. Ceremonial odes open and close meetings. Initiation odes occur during prescribed points of the conferral of degrees. Circles display their banners at every meeting. State Circles also have banners which they display at conventions. The Daughters of Isabella entered Canada in 1924, opening a circle in Quebec. Circles in Ontario, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick soon followed. In 1984, Juliette Leclair of Montreal was elected the first Canadian International Regent. In 1988, Leclair called a meeting of all DOI Quebec state and local regents to discuss separation from American supervision. She promised that the state and local circles would pay the regents' travel expenses. The DOI Board repudiated this promise, saying the constitution did not give Leclair authority to pay these expenses. Leclair resigned on February 15, 1988. Her letter of resignation is in the DOI Board - Regent's Letters series. She then encouraged Isabellans in Quebec to leave the Order and join her in forming an independent Catholic women's organization. The International Board of the DOI expelled Leclair on March 7, 1988. Leclair established the "Daughters of the Queen of Castille" later in 1988. When DOI protested the similarity in names, she changed it to the Association Marie Reine. Many circles left and the Daughters of Isabella sued Leclair and the circles, claiming that the circles' money belonged to the DOI. Litigation between the DOI and Leclair continued through the terms of two more Regents, until 2003. In 1951, three DOI circles were established in the Philippines. Mrs. Lorenza Dalupan, the country's first National Regent, led the growth of the Daughters of Isabella in the Philippines. Within 10 years, the DOI had increased its presence in the Philippines to over 25 circles with nearly 2,000 members. The Philippines circles were suspended in 1978 due in part to restrictions on the exportation of the Philippine peso by President Ferdinand Marcos. Junior Circles for girls ages 10 through 16 were established in 1931 after the Juniors' constitution was approved at the national convention. The Juniors were represented at the International Union of Catholic Women's Leagues meeting in Rome. The Daughters of Isabella publicized the organization's activities in a variety of publications. The first issue of The National Isabella was published on September 15, 1915, but publication became too costly because of wartime inflation. In 1941, the Daughters of Isabella published inserts in a series of Catholic magazines: The Catholic Woman's World (1941), its successor, Poise (1943), and The Catholic Home Journal (1944-59). The DOI editions of these magazines are all in the Publications series. National Regent Julia Maguire founded and edited a bimonthly magazine, The Isabellan (1961-63). This is also found in the Publications series. Another means of publicity for the Daughters of Isabella were drill teams. The teams performed at Isabellan events and some were good enough to compete in state and national contests. Hyacinth Circle #71 in Massachusetts won regional competitions. A program from a 1939 competition is in the Circles series. The motto of The Daughters of Isabella is "Unity, Friendship and Charity." The organization benefits numerous charities and scholarships. It established the Queen Isabella Foundation at CUA's National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS) in 1943. The Daughters of Isabella contributed $100,000 for the Queen Isabella Foundation. The NCSS nominates graduate student candidates for Queen Isabella Foundation scholarships and presents their resumes to the International Regent for approval. The Daughters of Isabella funded the St. Elizabeth chapel in the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, raising $14,000 between 1924 and 1928. In 1958, the Daughters of Isabella donated the statue of Mary Immaculate with Angels over the central doors of the south balcony entrance to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. For many years, a DOI member was eligible after one year of membership to pay into her circle's mortuary fund and have a $100 death benefit paid to her beneficiary upon her death. The Daughters of Isabella later eliminated the mortuary fund and replaced it with commercial insurance. In 1967, at the time of its 60th anniversary, the Daughters of Isabella had 113,000 members. Membership began to drop in the 1980s and 1990s. The organization published pamphlets, We Invite Women Like You to Join Us, in English and French to recruit new members. It produced informational videotapes for state and local circles. In 1997, the Daughters of Isabella celebrated its centennial anniversary. International Regent Jeanne de Montigny asked for Pope John Paul II's apostolic blessing, which he bestowed on June 1998. The blessing is found in the Artifacts series. Today, Daughters of Isabella number 60,000 in the United States and Canada. Scope and Contents The Daughters of Isabella collection documents the organization's history from its beginnings in 1897 until approximately 2006. The collection is rich in foundational materials illustrating the organization's often litigious beginnings.
