Martha Goodwin Tunstall (1838-1911) was an … Martha Goodwin Tunstall (1838-1911) was an abolitionist and Unionist, supporter of Radical Republicans and one of the earliest organizers of the Texas women's suffragist movement. She was politically active in the movement from the late 1860s through the 1880s. She worked with national suffrage organizations, in particular as a representative of Texas in the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The right for women to vote in Texas was introduced by Titus Howard Mundine, a Republican and Unionist, at the Reconstruction-era Texas Constitutional Convention of 1868-69. During the Convention, and Tunstall spoke gave a speech in support of universal suffrage at an Austin, Texas meeting for women's suffrage. The speech was reported on derisively (and assuming the speaker was a man) in a Galveston, Texas newspaper: "The Republican publishes an address by Mr. M. G. Tunstall 'at the final meeting of the friends of female suffrage in Austin, pending its discussion in the Reconstruction Convention.' We hope, too, the matter was finally disposed of in that final meeting." Although six of the ten Black delegates at the Convention supported women's rights, just seven of the fifty-five white men delegates voted in favor of the proposition, and a 52-13 vote rejected the proposal. In 1876, when the present Constitution of Texas was published, the delegates again refused to allow women to vote. It would be more than forty years until the suffragist movement won that fight. The government of Texas again voted down universal suffrage in May, 1919, but the United States Congress passed the 19th Amendment in June, 1919. Following the early years working for women's voting rights in Texas, Tunstall was part of the nascent National Woman Suffrage Association. She served on the Association's advisory committee in 1876 and was a Vice President representing Texas 1877 and '78. Tunstall stated later that her husband opposed women's suffrage and disapproved of her work; after the 1880s she was no longer active in the suffrage movement. Instead, she focused her energies on the national temperance movement, advocating against the use of alcohol and for women's rights and protections. In 1887 she spoke at the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union Convention in Nashville, Tennessee. She was State President of the organization in 1887, representing what was then Indian Territory.presenting what was then Indian Territory.
