On February 14, 1910, 12 women met at the Park Avenue, New   York City, home of Henrietta Wells Livermore (Mrs. Arthur Livermore) to organize a revitalized suffrage movement for the State of New York.

Mrs. Livermore was elected President of the group, which by 1913 had formed the entire state into women suffrage units working in assembly districts. After a seven-year effort, these women were rewarded by the election of November 6, 1917, when the suffrage amendment was passed. On January 1, 1919, women could vote.
                                                                                                            
                                                                                                            

In its November 10, 1917 issue, the Yonkers Herald said about the suffrage movement:

 "From the organization's inception in 1910, Mrs. Livermore was the
leader, and to her brilliant leadership much of its success is due."

Mrs. Livermore believed that women should know what they were voting about. She conceived of a national club for Republican women as a meeting place for the spreading of political knowledge to women voters: and in 1921 she founded, in New York City, The Women's National Republican Club.
