The National Women’s Party

The National Women’s Party (NWP), founded in 1916, was a pioneering organization advocating for women’s constitutional rights, primarily focusing on securing women’s right to vote through the 19th Amendment. It employed strategic activism, including rallies, protests, and lobbying efforts, to press for gender equality and women’s rights. The NWP was known for its assertive approach and moral advocacy, aiming to influence legislation and public opinion. Its work was instrumental in advancing women’s suffrage in the United States, and it later expanded to address broader issues of women’s rights and social reform.
