These two Amendments produced a lot of strong feelings in those behind the women’s movement.

In fact, the women’s movement split into two factions over a disagreement over these Amendments.

In New York, Stanton and Anthony established the radical National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA).

Meanwhile, Lucy Stone, Julia Ward Howe, and Henry Blackwell organized the more conservative American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) in Boston.

These two groups later merged in 1890. Together they formed the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA). And it was under the leadership of Elizabeth Stanton.
