Women Suffragists Meet in New England Association Session
The New England Woman Suffrage Association held its annual meeting at the Meiona with Rev. F. A. Hinckley as chair and Mrs. L. A. Hatch as secretary. Delegates from several states reported, and Mrs. Lucy Stone’s report was read in her absence. Addresses urged progress through the stages of ridicule, discussion, and adoption, criticizing Senator Edmunds and pledging renewed effort. The meeting elected officers including President Mrs. Lacy Stone and an expanded executive committee, and featured papers by William Lloyd Garrison and remarks by notable reformers.
