NUWSS, or the National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies, was a prominent organization in the early 20th century dedicated to securing women's right to vote in the UK. Founded in 1897, it promoted peaceful, law-abiding methods such as petitions, meetings, and lobbying Parliament to achieve women's voting rights. NUWSS played a key role in building widespread support for suffrage, emphasizing education and democratic principles. Its efforts laid the groundwork for eventual legal reforms, culminating in women gaining the right to vote. The organization emphasized unity and strategic advocacy within the framework of existing political processes.
