Answer 1

Their tactics were sensationalistic and meant to draw attention.

Anthony and Stanton led the NWSA in bold, attention-getting actions (e.g., public confrontations, attempting to vote, provocative speeches and publications) to push for a federal amendment, rather than working quietly with other groups or promoting violent uprising.
