The Alabama Equal Suffrage Association (AESA), founded in 1912, was organized to promote the right to vote for white women in the state. When the 19th Amendment was ratified, the AESA was dissolved and many members joined the League of Women Voters.

Were only women suffragists?
Suffragists are people who promote voting rights, most often for women but not exclusively. Suffragettes were women who promoted voting rights for women. Therefore, every suffragette was a suffragist, but not every suffragist is a suffragette. Gerrit Smith was a man who stood for election solely on the platform of voting rights for women. The Nineteenth Amendment ensured that women had the right to vote. It might not have been passed into law without President Wilson. He took deliberate steps to make sure that it was made law. So you could say that it took men to make sure that women had the right to vote. Worth a mention: The 19th Amendment was proposed on June 4, 1919. The first states to ratified it were Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, on June 10th 1919. Six states did not ratify it until after 1968. The last state to ratify it was Mississippi in 1984, 69 years after it was proposed. There were other suffragists in two main causes: for black people (1870, 15th amendment, also by voting rights legislation in 1965) and for people 18 yrs old (1971, 26th Amendment). The story of suffrage - people struggling to get the right to vote - is remarkable and one that we should all know.
