Georgia May Jobson

When the first branch of the WCTU was formed in the State of Virginia (October 1881), Jobson became one of its members.

In December 1910, she was elected first president of the Woman's Prohibition League of America, which position she held continuously until her death.

The success which the Prohibition cause met in Virginia was in large measure due to the efforts of Jobson, a pioneer in the women's temperance movement.

[2] At the Sixteenth National Convention of the Anti-Saloon League of America, held at Atlantic City, New Jersey, July 6–9, 1915, Jobson delivered to the assembled delegates "A Message from the Southland" in which address she described the origin and growth of the temperance movement in Virginia from the foundation of the first temperance society in the State, in 1823, down to 1915.

[2] Georgia May Jobson died at Richmond, Virginia, December 24, 1924.
