Elliott led a mass meeting advocating women's suffrage in Newport.
On December 1, 1917, Maud Howe Elliott led a significant mass meeting in Newport to advocate for women's suffrage legislation in Rhode Island. Her leadership in this event was indicative of her steadfast commitment to the feminist cause. The meeting helped to mobilize local women and provided momentum to the suffrage movement, contributing to the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote in 1920.
