National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA)

The National American Women Suffrage Association was formed in 1890 when the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and the American Suffrage Association (AWSA) merged. They were previously opposing groups due to disagreement over strategy. Elizabeth Casy Stanton became the organization's first president however, Susan B. Anthony primarily led the organization from 1890 to 1892. She continued to lead it on her own until 1900. Her successors were Carrie Chapman Catt and Anna Howard Shaw.
