Women Win the Right to Vote

Question 16 • OK-US History A

How did the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) differ from the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA)?

Answer

The NWSA had goals that expanded to include the rights of men as well as women.

The NWSA did not want to place the focus of voting rights on any group other than women.

The NWSA wanted to address the voting rights of both women and formerly enslaved people.

The NWSA believed in using mostly aggressive tactics when trying to get the attention of lawmakers.

Explanation

The NWSA, led by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony, supported a broader national campaign for women’s suffrage and linked it with the rights of formerly enslaved people. The AWSA focused more narrowly on winning women’s voting rights through state-by-state efforts. So the choice describing the NWSA as addressing voting rights for both women and formerly enslaved people is correct.
