American Woman Suffrage Association
The American Woman Suffrage Association was founded in November 1869 at the convention in Cleveland organized by New England Woman Suffrage Association. In 1870, its leader, Lucy Stone, began publishing Woman's Journal as the voice of AWSA. The AWSA included both men and women, believed success could be more easily achieved through state-by-state campaigns, and employed less militant lobbying tactics. In 1890 it merged with the National Woman Suffrage Association to become National American Woman Suffrage Association.
