In late January 1895, for the first time, NAWSA held their annual convention outside of Washington, D.C. After strong lobbying on behalf of Georgia by Howard, the NAWSA Suffragists held that year's convention in Atlanta. This convention was the first large women's right's gatherings in the South. Howard and her sisters funded the convention with their own funds. Georgia suffragist, Mary Latimer McLendon was one of the speakers and Susan B. Anthony was a headliner. The convention featured both male and female speakers and had musical numbers for entertainment. Susan Atkinson and her husband, Governor William Atkinson, attended the convention. The convention was covered by the major newspapers and impressed several women's groups in the South.
