What View Did the National Women’s Party Take?

(Previously the Congressional Union by Alice Paul but changed their name in 1916)

Even though the NWP was far more radical than the LWV, they reacted similarly:

  • They said that because black women were being discriminated against in the same way as black men, it was a race issue not a women’s rights issue.
  • The Woman’s Party as a feminist, not a social justice organisation, felt no obligation to help.
