Why did alice paul break away from nawsa and form the nwp?
Alice Paul broke away from NAWSA beacuse she felt they were getting no where.
How would you describe the NAWSA and NWP?
The National Woman's Party (NWP), representing the militant wing of the suffrage movement, utilized picketing and open public demonstrations to gain popular attention for the right of women to vote in the United States. The origin of the National Woman's Party date from 1912, when Alice Stokes Paul and Lucy Burns, young Americans schooled in the militant tactics of the British suffrage movement, were appointed to the National American Woman Suffrage Association's (NAWSA) Congressional Committee.National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA),American organization created in 1890 by the merger of the two major rival women's rights organizations-the National Woman Suffrage Association and the American Woman Suffrage Association-after 21 years of independent operation. NAWSA was initially headed by past executives of the two merged groups, including Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone, and Susan B. Anthony. The strategy of the newly formed organization was to push for the ratification of enough state suffrage amendments to force Congress to approve a federal amendment. Although some radical factions continued to address corollary issues, NAWSA's new approach focused the group's energies exclusively on recruiting new members and winning the vote for women.
What did the national women's party reform?
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.
What was the reaction of the press to the NWP's decision to picket the white house?
I have no idea I don't even know what the question is okay I am just really bored.
Why was the NWP labeled silent sentinels?
The National Women's Party itself was not labeled "silent sentinels". Beginning in January 1917, a group of women from NWP stood in front of the White House every day with banners that read "Mr President, What Will You Do For Woman Suffrage?" and "How Long Must Woman Wait For Liberty?". These women were the ones called "silent sentinels". They also carried purple, white, and yellow flags. After June 1917, the picketing women were regularly arrested and sometimes subject to mob violence, but continued to appear daily and picket President Wilson's appearances at events outside the White House.
