Description

The early women’s suffrage movement began in 1848 as an offshoot of the anti-slavery movement but was somewhat delayed by greater world events such as the Civil War and emancipation. In 1890 the Mississippi Woman Suffrage Association was formed and led by Nellie Nugent Somerville. Their efforts were to gain the vote for women in the state of Mississippi. In their constitution the Mississippi Woman Suffrage Association sought to advance the industrial, educational, and legal rights of woman and to secure suffrage for them.
