National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
- National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage
-
▪ American organization
organization formed in New York City in 1911 during a convention of state antisuffrage (
woman suffrage) groups. Led by Josephine Dodge (
Dodge, Josephine Marshall Jewell), the founder and first president, the NAOWS believed that woman suffrage would decrease women's work in communities and their ability to effect societal reforms. Active on a state and federal level, the group also established a newsletter,
Woman's Protest (reorganized as
Woman Patriot in 1918), that was a bellwether of antisuffrage opinion. In 1918 the NAOWS moved its headquarters to Washington, D.C., where it operated until its disbandment following the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment in 1920.
Woman Patriot continued to be published through the 1920s, generally opposing the work of feminists and liberal women's groups.
