The twenty-sixth New York Woman Suffrage Association's annual convention was held in Ithaca, New York, from November 12-14, 1894. Earlier in 1894, New York State held its Constitutional Convention to revise the State constitution, which included a proposed amendment aimed at striking the word "male," and granting the right to vote. The suffragists were denied representation, and female delegates were not allowed.

The NYWSA, with the help of Susan B. Anthony, and the Women's Christian Temperance Union, collected roughly 600,000 signatures in favor of giving women the vote, but the petitions failed to persuade the delegates.]]>
