The NAWSA and the AWSA were groups of women in many countries that worked hard to try to pass Women's Suffrage legalization at the State level. The NAWSA was the main group that helped push to pass the 19th Amendment and was led by Carrie Chapman Catt. Another Group called the National Women's Party, led by Alice Paul, copied Britain's ideas of violent protests to help pass the Amendment. They chained themselves to the White House Fence and started Hunger strikes to try to publicize Women's Suffrage . They were widely criticized for attracting anit-war elements and ignoring the current war.
