  •   The National Woman Suffrage Association   In 1869, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton formed the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) and worked for a woman suffrage amendment to the Constitution. The chief goal of the NWSA was an amendment to the Constitution giving women the vote. The NWSA also demanded equal education and equal employment opportunities for women. Anthony served as president of the group from 1892 until 1900. Carrie Catt served as president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association from 1900 to 1904, and from 1915 to 1920, when Amendment 19 to the United States Constitution was passed, giving women the right to vote.
