Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association
The Massachusetts Woman Suffrage Association, founded in 1870, was a key organization advocating for women's right to vote in Massachusetts. It worked to raise awareness, promote legal changes, and rally support for suffrage through lobbying, education, and public campaigns. Led by prominent activists like Lucy Stone, the association played a significant role in the broader women's rights movement, helping to lay the groundwork for the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women nationwide the right to vote.
