Carrie Chapman Catt contributed to social reform, particularly in the women's suffrage movement, primarily through her development of a new strategy to pursue women's voting rights. She became a key leader in the movement and was instrumental in introducing the "Winning Plan," which aimed to secure women's suffrage at both the state and federal levels. Catt emphasized a grassroots approach, mobilizing local suffrage organizations to build support for the cause and advocating for a national amendment while also addressing suffrage at the state level.

While she did not write the Women’s Suffrage Amendment herself, she played a crucial role in advocating for it and working toward its passage. Catt also did not found the American Woman Suffrage Association; that organization was established by Lucy Stone and others. Additionally, Catt generally focused on strategic, organized, and peaceful efforts rather than extreme tactics to advance women's voting rights.
