I am reading on this subject now. My textbook states that (paraphrasing) the New England Suffrage Association started in 1868, attracting people from the anti-slavery circuit.Started by Abbey Kelley FGoster and Paulina Wright Davis, Julia Ward Howe Joining after. This group took action for suffrage around New England, and in 1869 became the AWSA, or American Women Suffrage Association. They pressd for the word "Male" to be removed from voting provisions of state constitutions, among other things.
This all came from "Women and The American Experience" written by Nancy Woloch on Page 330, if interested. I asume You've already answered what you needed the question for, as well, but the above answer was for the Seneca Falls Convention, for future reference.
