Women's Suffrage Association


National Women's Suffrage Association
The National Women's Suffrage Association wanted equal rights, equal pay and equal opportunities for women. The association did not allow men to become members because men excluded women in the fourteenth amendment. It started in 1869 and was led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony.
The American Women Suffrage Association (AWSA) was the National Women's Suffrage Association rivals. The AWSA worked on getting women the right to vote and men were allowed. Later on the two associations decided to become one group. In 1890 both associations became National American Woman Suffrage Association.
