Organisations in 1865-1914
NAWSA (1890-1920)
The result of the
merging of AWSA and NWSA
AWSA
campaigned for the right to vote for AAs and for women
NWSA
campaigned for full federal recognition of the right to vote
After they merged, they had
over 100,000 members
by
1910
, but this
only represented 1/2
of the women actively protesting for their rights
Carrie Catt
took over in
1900
and began
active protest
by holding marches and distributing leaflets
Alice Paul
and her
Congressional Union for Women's Suffrage
in
1913
(renamed to
National Women's Party
in
1917
) emphasised Catt's efforts
Overall
positive
. By 1918, 20 states recognised that women had the right to vote and in 1920 the 19th Amendment was passed.
This progress was mainly favoured to middle class white women, AA and Hispanic women were still exploited and discriminated against
NWSA (1869-1890)
Founded to work for women's suffrages
Mainly led by
Susan B. Anthony
and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Created after the
split of women's movement
after the
15th Amendment
They encouraged women to attempt to vote and to file lawsuits if prevented
Many women attempted to vote, including Susan B. Anthony, who was arrested and found guilty in a publicized trial
AERA (1866-1870)
Founded to secure equal rights to all American citizens, especially the right of
suffrages
(right to vote)
Led by
Lucretia Mott
, Frederick Douglass,
Susan B. Anthony
and
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Conducted two major campaigns in 1870 and collected petitions in support of women's suffrages
They began to
divide
into two wings: One was led by
Lucy Stone
, who thought
black men
should receive
suffrages
first. The other was led by
Anthony
and
Stanton
, who thought
women and black men
should be
enfranchised
at the same time
This division became worse when the 15th Amendment occurred, with Lucy Stone supporting it and Anthony + Stanton opposing it
They eventually disbanded because of this division, with Anthony and Stanton forming
NWSA
and Stone forming
AWSA
AWSA (1869-1890)
Led by Lucy Stone
Wanted to differentiate themselves from NWSA, who were hostile to male political influence, AWSA invited prominent male politicians and had a man be the first president of AWSA
At the AWSA founding convention, Anthony offered to work with AWSA, saying the movement was more important as a whole than organisations, but the split continued
It was clear by the 1880s their division was counterproductive to the votes for women
AWSA and NWSA eventually merged

Gained 800,000 members by 1920

Originally called Congressional Union for Woman’s Suffrage (changed 1917)
