Deux militantes suffragistes, Madame Stanley McCormick et Madame Charles Parker, portant une bannière de la
National Woman Suffrage Association en 1913.
La National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) (Association nationale pour le suffrage des femmes) était une association américaine de promotion du droit de vote des femmes, formée le 15 mai 1869 à New York par Susan B. Anthony et Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Elle résultait d’une division de l’American Equal Rights Association sur la question du XVe amendement de la Constitution américaine.
Ses fondatrices refusaient de soutenir le XVe amendement qui devait donner le droit de vote aux Afro-américains à moins qu’il n’inclue également le droit de vote pour les femmes ou qu’un nouvel amendement adopté simultanément ne garantisse ce droit pour les femmes.
La NWSA milita après l’adoption du XVe amendement pour un nouvel amendement à la Constitution qui garantirait le droit de suffrage des femmes. L’American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA), organisation rivale plus modérée née de la même scission initiale, pensait que la revendication égalitaire aurait plus de chance d’aboutir par l’intermédiaire d’une campagne menée à l’échelle de chaque État.
En 1890, la NWSA et l’AWSA fusionnèrent pour former la National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
