feb 18, 1890 - NAWSA Founded

Description:

The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was founded in 1890, resulting from the merger of two rival women's rights organizations led by Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. NAWSA played a central role in advocating for women's suffrage in the United States, organizing campaigns, and lobbying for legislation at both the state and national levels, culminating in the adoption of the 19th Amendment in 1920.
