The National Woman's Party (NWP) was founded in 1916 by leaders such as Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to advocate for women's suffrage in the United States. The organization focused on securing the right to vote for women through more militant tactics, including protests and hunger strikes. The NWP played a crucial role in raising public awareness and pushing for the passage of the 19th Amendment. The NWP was known for its strategic use of demonstrations, including the famous Woman Suffrage Procession in 1913. After the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920, the party continued to fight for women's rights, including issues like equal pay and reproductive rights, establishing a legacy that influenced future feminist movements.
