BiographyThe Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association (CWSA) was founded on October 28, 1869, by Isabella Beecher Hooker and Frances Ellen Burr at Connecticut's first suffrage convention. The organization's main goal was to persuade the Connecticut General Assembly to ratify the 19th amendment, giving women in Connecticut the right to vote. After the 19th Amendment was ratified, the Connecticut Woman Suffrage Association voted to disband on June 3, 1921.
