Timeline of women's suffrage in Pennsylvania
This is a timeline of women's suffrage in Pennsylvania. Activists in the state began working towards women's rights in the early 1850s, when two women's rights conventions discussed women's suffrage. A statewide group, the Pennsylvania Woman Suffrage Association (PWSA), was formed in 1869. Other regional groups were formed throughout the state over the years. Suffragists in Pittsburgh created the "Pittsburgh Plan" in 1911. In 1915, a campaign to influence voters to support women's suffrage on the November 2 referendum took place. Despite these efforts, the referendum failed. On  June 24, 1919, Pennsylvania became the seventh state to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment. Pennsylvania women voted for the first time on November 2, 1920. 19th century. 1850s. 1852 1854 1860s. 1866 1869 1870s. 1871 1872 1876 1880s. 1885 1890s. 1892 20th century. 1900s. 1901 1902 1903 1904 1905 1906 1907 1908 1909 1910s. 1910 1911 1912 1913 1914 1915 1916 1919 1920s. 1920
