National Women's Franchise Committee

The National Women's Franchise Committee (NWFC) is a collective group focused on advocating for women's rights to vote and participate in the political process. Established in the early 20th century, the committee played a significant role in supporting women's suffrage in the United States, emphasizing the importance of women having a voice in democracy. It mobilized efforts to educate the public, influence legislation, and create awareness about the necessity of women's participation in government. The NWFC contributed to the eventual ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote.
