feb 18, 1890 - Foundation of NAWSA
Description:
his is important because the National American Woman Suffrage Association tried to: 1. convince state legislatures to grant women the right to vote. 2. women pursued court cases to test the Fourteenth Amendment, which declared that states denying their male citizens the right to vote would lose congressional representation. 3. women pushed for a national constitutional amendment to grant women the vote. The successful strikes of NAWSA and the image of equality helped influence the Square Deal and shape some of Theodore Roosevelt’s beliefs and policies in his presidency.
