National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), – Led by Carrie Chapman Catt:: Moderate organization – NAWSA campaigned for women’s suffrage one state at a time (starting with Western states) – Lobbied President Wilson and Congress to pass a woman suffrage Constitutional Amendment at the same time. – In the 1910s, NAWSA’s membership numbered in the millions.

* Second group: National Woman’s Party (NWP) -Led by Alice Paul, militant organization. -The NWP chose more radical actions, including picketing the White House and voluntary starvation
