Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elizabeth Stanton and Susan B. Anthony created the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) in 1869, which fought for women's right to vote and opposed the 15th Amendment because it did not include women. The American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) was another suffrage organization, but it focused on securing women's suffrage on a state-by-state basis rather than pushing for a federal amendment. The President's Commission on the Status of Women was created by President Kennedy in 1961 to study and address issues affecting women in the United States. The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) was formed in 1890 by the merger of the NWSA (founded by Stanton and Anthony) and the AWSA.
