Detailed explanation-1: -For most of its history, NAWSA preferred the state-by-state approach, whereas the NWP was formed expressly to win a federal amendment. Both organizations eventually converged on the common cause of a constitutional amendment, but only after that goal had gained widespread momentum.
Detailed explanation-2: -While the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) advocated for a range of reforms to make women equal members of society, the AWSA focused solely on the vote to attract as many supporters as possible. Unlike the female-led NWSA, the AWSA also included prominent male reformers among its leaders and members.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage was different from NAWSA in that it was more militant and more focused on a congressional amendment allowing for the right for women to vote rather than on state-by-state campaigns.
Detailed explanation-4: -The National Woman’s Party was not the largest or most prominent organization during the fight for women’s right to vote. Carrie Chapman Catt led the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association (NAWSA) which had more members, more power, and more money than the NWP.
