National suffrage network spans 57 state associations
The National suffrage group is described as a federation of 57 separate state associations, with representation from nearly every state. Even where women’s suffrage has passed, local branches continue as civic bodies tied to the National, pursuing a broad state referenda program. The National operates nonpartisan, uniting Republicans, Democrats, Progressives, Socialists, and Prohibitionists in a common effort.
