Division Again in the Mainstream Campaign
Not everyone in the NAWSA agreed that the women’s suffrage movement was moving fast enough, or using the right tactics.
Some women activists were impatient with the pace of change. In 1915, white suffragist Alice Paul was forced to resign from the NAWSA because she advocated using extreme tactics in the fight for suffrage. She formed a rival suffrage group, the Congressional Union, later named the National Woman’s Party.
