Georgia Woman Suffrage Association

[4] The purpose of the association was to make people more aware of the inequality in voting practices, not to directly affect legislation.

In 1894, Howard spoke at the National Woman Suffrage Association in Washington, D.C., and convinced the delegates to have the next convention in Atlanta, Georgia.

[5] The convention featured speakers such as Susan B. Anthony, Carrie Chapman Catt, Henry Blackwell and GWSA's own Mary Latimer McLendon.

[11][12] At the convention, the suffragists decided to also expand their work to lobby the Georgia General Assembly on various issues related to human rights and women's rights, as well as women's suffrage.

[11] Frances A. Griffin of the GWSA spoke the State Federation of Labor and was able to secure their support for women's suffrage.
