The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA)

The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), founded in 1890, was a major organization dedicated to securing women's right to vote in the United States. It united various women's rights groups to coordinate efforts, campaign, and advocate for changes in laws and public opinion. NAWSA used petitions, lobbying, and demonstrations to persuade lawmakers and the public of women's suffrage's importance. Led by prominent figures like Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, NAWSA played a key role in the eventual passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, which granted women the right to vote.
