Women’s suffrage in Vermont…
The suffrage movement in Vermont was largely led by white, middle-class women and some men.
Clarina I. H. Nichols was an early advocate for women’s rights and women’s suffrage in the state of Vermont. She was active in the early 1850s and was an editor of the Windham County Democrat. When Lucy Stone spoke in Randolph, she urged women to refuse to pay taxes until they were allowed to vote.
In beginning of 1870, many women’s rights and suffrage speakers toured Vermont. At many of these early meetings, speakers faced ridicule and various types of negative disturbances at their events. The press also criticized suffrage speakers, focusing on their appearance and other trivial details as opposed to engaging with their ideas.
Beginning in 1870, women’s suffrage activists planned to canvass the state in preparation for the upcoming Constitutional Convention for the Vermont State Constitution.
The VWSA began to reorganize in 1883.
On February of 1917, Vermont women were the first in New England to earn the right to vote in municipal elections.
