The American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA) and the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA) disagreed primarily on strategies and approaches to achieving women's suffrage. AWSA advocated for a state-by-state approach, believing that securing voting rights through individual states would be more effective. In contrast, NWSA pushed for a more confrontational strategy, seeking a constitutional amendment to secure women's suffrage at the federal level. This ideological divide reflected broader differences in their philosophies regarding activism and the role of women in society.

The National American Woman Suffrage Association employed a flexible state-to-state strategy to promote women's suffrage. The organization was founded by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in 1913.
The only state on the East Coast to grant women full suffrage before 1919 was New York. Women gained the right to vote in New York in 1917, ahead of the national suffrage movement that culminated in the 19th Amendment in 1920. This early achievement was part of a broader trend of increasing support for women's rights during that period.
