In terms of diversity, the greatest achievement of the twentieth-century woman suffrage movement was its extremely broad class base. One major division, especially in Britain, was between suffragists, who sought to create change constitutionally, and suffragettes, led by English political activist Emmeline Pankhurst, who in 1903 formed the more militant Women's Social and Political Union. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were the first two women in America to organize the women's rights convention in July 1848. Susan B. Anthony later joined the movement and helped form the National Woman's Suffrage Association (NWSA) in May of 1869. Their goal was to change the 15th Amendment because it did not mention nor include women which is why the NWSA protested against it. Most major Western powers extended voting rights to women in the interwar period, including Canada (1917), Britain and Germany (1918), Austria, the Netherlands (1919) and the United States (1920). Author, illustrator and campaigner for women's rights Constance Smedley published this feminist tract, Woman: A Few Shrieks, under the pseudonym ‘X’ in 1907 with an appendix by radical English suffragette Ethel Snowden.…
