may 15, 1869 - National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA)
Description:
A suffrage group headed by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony that stressed the need for women to lead organizations on their own behalf. The NWSA focused exclusively on women’s rights — sometimes denigrating men of color in the process — and took up the battle for a federal women’s suffrage amendment.
