The Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching was an indigenous Southern social action group, active from 1931 to 1942. This paper describes the Association's program and attempts to evaluate its effectiveness using archival data. The author concludes that the Association was effective prior to 1937, primarily in preventing lynchings in rural counties and lynchings in which prisoners were taken from the custody of law officers. Data for the period after 1937 are contradictory
