The passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution ended seventy-two years of struggle to secure for women the right to vote. This right was given and the women lobbying to achieve this amendment were successful.
The National Woman's Party (NWP) was a women's organization founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913 that fought for women's rights during the early 20th century in the United States, particularly for the right to vote on the same terms as men. The NWP put its priority on the passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage. After the Nineteenth Amendment gave women the vote in 1920, the NWP turned its attention to passage of an Equal Rights Amendment(ERA) to the Constitution.
