What did the NUWSS do?

The National Union of Women's Suffrage Societies (NUWSS) was a British organization founded in 1897 that campaigned for women's suffrage. Unlike the more militant Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), the NUWSS employed peaceful and constitutional methods, such as lobbying, petitions, and public meetings, to advocate for women's voting rights. The organization played a crucial role in raising public awareness and support for women's suffrage, ultimately contributing to the passage of the Representation of the People Act in 1918, which granted limited voting rights to women.
