In 1893, she joined with Helen Barrett Montgomery in forming a chapter of the Womans Educational and Industrial Union in Rochester.
National suffrage organizations
In 1869, Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton founded the National Woman Suffrage Association , an organization dedicated to gaining womens suffrage. Anthony insisted that Stanton become president as long as possible; Anthony served as vice-president-at-large until 1892 when she became president.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton with AnthonyIn the early years of the NWSA, Anthony made many attempts to unite women in the labor movement with the suffragist cause, but with little success. She and Stanton were delegates at the 1868 convention of the National Labor Union. However, Anthony inadvertently alienated the labor movement not only because suffrage was seen as a concern for middle-class rather thanworking-class women, but because she openly encouraged women to achieve economic independence by entering the printing trades, where male workers were on strike at the time. Anthony was later expelled from the National Labor Union over this controversy.
In February 1890, Anthony orchestrated the merger of the NWSA with Lucy Stones more moderate American Woman Suffrage Association , creating the National American Woman Suffrage Association . This merger was partially done because Anthony admired Anna Howard Shaw, who worked with the AWSA and was a great speaker. Prior to the controversial merge, Anthony had created a special NWSA executive committee to vote on whether they should merge with the AWSA, despite the fact that using a committee instead of an all-member vote went against the NWSA constitution. Motions to make it possible for members to vote by mail were strenuously opposed by Anthony and her adherents, and the committee was stacked with members who favored the merger. .
