Boston Equal Suffrage Association for Good Government is established.

1901

Founded by Maud Wood Park, Pauline Agassiz Shaw, and others, its offices are located in Chauncy Hall at 585 Boylston Street. Agassiz Shaw is the first president. Early members include Henry Blackwell, Alice Stone Blackwell, Emily Greene Balch and Florence Luscomb. The organization uses various tactics to promote woman’s suffrage, including reaching out to immigrants and working women. The group becomes part of the Massachusetts Woman’s Suffrage Association (est. 1893). After the national League of Women Voters is founded in Chicago on February 14, 1920, the group reorganizes as the Massachusetts chapter of the League of Women Voters in 1920.*
