National Woman's Party (NWP)

The National Woman's Party (NWP) was formed in 1916 to advocate for women's suffrage in the United States. Led by figures like Alice Paul, the NWP focused on securing the right to vote for women through organized protests, marches, and campaigns. They employed more militant tactics compared to other suffrage groups, including picketing the White House. Their efforts contributed significantly to the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote. The NWP continued to fight for women's equality and civil rights in the years that followed.
