National American Woman Suffrage Association - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), an American women's rights organization, was established by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in May of 1869. The American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) attracted more conservative members. This set it apart from the Equal Rights Association, which had begun to concentrate on black suffrage to the exclusion of female suffrage, and prominent suffragist Lucy Stone was not invited to its inaugural meeting due to her association with the ERA. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/National_Woman_Suffrage_Association   (339 words)

Mississippi Women and the Woman Suffrage Amendment By 1890, national leaders, united in a large suffrage organization called the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), realized that to achieve all this they would have to “bring in the South.” They were all too aware, however, that this might be hard to do. National suffrage leaders concluded that since one of the most conservative states in the nation had given serious consideration to enfranchising women in order to restore White supremacy in politics, suffrage leaders might use the race issue to persuade the South to lead the way for woman suffrage. She was highly influential in convincing southern suffrage leaders to support the proposed amendment — even though a former friend and ally, New Orleans suffrage leader Kate Gordon, a strong state's rights suffragist, opposed woman suffrage by federal action and urged all southern women to oppose it. mshistory.k12.ms.us /features/feature23/women.html   (3077 words)

Anna Howard Shaw memorial of the National American woman suffrage association...

The Congressional union is drawing off from the National Association those women who feel it is possible to work for suffrage by the Federal route only. The grievance which every thinking, self-respecting American woman feels is the discrimination which invites to our land the men of all the nations of the earth, naturalizes them after a five years' residence, automatically enfranchises them under all State constitutions, and then commands American women to seek the ballot at their hands. marchand.ucdavis.edu /lessons/suffrage/suffrage.html   (7498 words)
