National Women's Suffrage Association (NWSA)

The National Women's Suffrage Association (NWSA) was founded in 1869 by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton in the United States. Its primary goal was to secure voting rights for women through a constitutional amendment. The NWSA differentiated itself from other suffrage groups by focusing on a broader agenda, including women's rights beyond voting, such as property rights and education. The organization played a crucial role in mobilizing women and advocating for gender equality, ultimately contributing to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
