1887 The N.J. legislature granted women the right to vote at local school meetings. This law affected only rural and small town women. The Woman's Christian Temperance Union of New Jersey, of which Sarah Jane Corson Downs of Ocean Grove was president, endorsed woman suffrage at its annual meeting in November. 1890 The New Jersey Woman Suffrage Association, which had become inactive in the 1870's was reorganized and revivified. Largely a white middle-class organization, it led the struggle for woman suffrage in the state over the next thirty years. |
