The creation of NAWSA
The NAWSA was the combination of National Women Suffrage Association and the American Women Suffrage Association. NAWSA stood for the National American Women Suffrage. The NAWSA worked to get women to bite in each states. NAWSA turned out to be very successful. In 1893 Colorado, Utah in 1896 as well as Idaho in 1896 all granted women the right to vote after the NAWSA was created. Overall the NAWSA was a very useful and successful program. -
Joining the NAWSA
Many people joined the NAWSA. The overall goal was to get women the right to vote and end women suffrage. People who supported that joined the NAWSA. In 1913, Alice Paul, a young Quaker activist joined the NAWSA. She became a an leader very quickly. Her and Lucky Burns wanted to shift the NAWSA attention from winning voting rights for women at the state and local level. She instead wanted the governments attention to raise the importance of this issue. -
Theodore Roosevelt
Theodore Roosevelt was one of the most influential people in the history of America so it wouldn't be surprising that he was apart of ending women suffrage. In 1880 he wrote about women rights and about gender equality. When he voted the women suffrage bill while in the New York State Assembly. At the time he didn't focus that much on women suffrage because he didn't think that it would have that much of an affect on the election. But in the end but congress eventually passed the 19th amendment. -
Women being able to vote
At the time not many states allowed women to vote. At the time only twelve states allowed women to vote. That is twenty-four percent of our population of women that could vote at the time. The National Women's began having silent protest outside the White House so that they got the governments support so they got what they wanted a lot faster. They wanted the attention of the president so they held signs saying that he wasn't going to do anything about women suffrage or was he. -
The 19th amendment
The 19th amendment was expected but it wasn't needed as early as thought. Not many women voted as soon as we thought they would. The 19th amendment put an end to the women suffrage era. Women were able to vote and they got equal rights.
