What did the AWSA stand for?

The AWSA stood for the American Woman Suffrage Association, founded in 1869. It aimed to secure women's right to vote in the United States, advocating for suffrage through state-by-state campaigns rather than a federal amendment. The AWSA focused on promoting women's rights and worked alongside other organizations, notably the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA), though they had different strategies and leadership. The AWSA eventually merged with the NWSA in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
