National American Women Suffrage Association.

The National American Women Suffrage Association also known as the NAWSA was founded in 1890 by two rival suffrage forces. Founded by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Staton VS Lucy Stone. In the beginning despite the establishment of the association, it had poor leadership who was conservative in many of her views. As it was formed during a very conservative era and managed by someone with extremely conservative social views, the NAWSA was frequently associated with anti immigrants,slavery and southern members who had racist views. However between 1870 and 1910, they carried out as many as 500 campaigns all across the country to motivate their voters, however it was hugely unsuccessful with less than 20 percent of success to bringing their issues to a vote.

Despite their slow and bumpy ride to success, it was the change of a new era that was so focused on other changes that it made their demands much less controversial compared to the past. Also, younger and more resourceful leaders started to emerge, and one of them was Harriot Staton Blatch who was Elizabeth Cady Staton's daughter.  She was aggressive with her campaigns which included rallies, parades and aggressive lobbying.  It was a huge success and by 1924, women were able to vote in ten states. The organization remained consistent with their work for women suffrage over the years and it was the introduction of Carrie Chapman Catt's "winning plan" that brought on the biggest change.  She used force and pressure to increase the number of states that had women's suffrage and made congressman to support the suffrage. It worked and in 1918 the Nineteenth Amendment was passed by congress.
