Join our Cause! Support the Summer of Suffrage
The National American Woman Suffrage Association was formed in 1890 by the merger of two suffrage organizations, both of which originated in a volatile disagreement in 1869. In the 1890s, NAWSA’s influence reached across the country, contributing to suffrage victories in the western states. By the early twentieth century, new leaders, including Carrie Chapman Catt and Anna Howard Shaw, emerged and suffragists devised innovative tactics in the struggle for the right to vote, including suffrage parades and open-air meetings. By reviewing these materials, you will discover NAWSA’s multifaceted history, including the activities of precursor organizations involved in the abolition and women’s rights movements, state and federal campaigns for women’s suffrage, the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and international women’s suffrage organizing.
