National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA)

The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was formed in 1890 to advocate for women's right to vote in the United States. It united two earlier organizations and focused on a strategic, state-by-state approach to achieve suffrage. NAWSA organized campaigns, promoted public awareness, and rallied support across the nation. Key leaders included Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Their efforts contributed to the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote, marking a significant milestone in the broader women's rights movement.
