Maryland Woman Suffrage Association

The Maryland Woman Suffrage Association (MWSA) was a woman's suffrage organization in Maryland, USA, founded in 1889.

About

The MWSA was created to fight for women's suffrage in Maryland.^[1] Carolyn Hallowell Miller started the group on January 11, 1889.^[2]^[3] The group included both men and women.^[4] MWSA met in members' homes and worked to plan statewide conventions and conferences.^[1]

The first president was Miller, though only for a short time. She was followed by Mary Bentley Thomas.^[2]^[5] In 1902, MWSA opened a headquarters in Baltimore.^[2] In 1904, Emma Maddox Funck became president.^[6] MWSA invited the National American Woman Suffrage Association to hold its 1906 conference in Baltimore.^[1]

In 1910, MWSA worked closely with Elizabeth King Ellicott and presented a bill for suffrage for all to the Maryland House of Delegates.^[7] The bill was soundly rejected by the delegates.^[7] In 1911, there was a split in the group, with some leaving MWSA to form the State Equal Franchise League of Maryland.^[8] MWSA continued to provide an amendment for women's suffrage in the Maryland Constitution in 1912, 1914 and 1916, with no success.^[1]
