Paragraph 4: In 1890, the two groups joined forces and formed the National American Women Suffrage Association. They, along with the National Association for Colored Women and many others, marched, protested, lobbied, lectured, and practiced civil disobedience for women's voting rights. Some even went on hunger strikes. Many women were punished for their participation in the movement. Activists were yelled at, beaten, and jailed for expressing their views. But the cause finally took a turn in 1917 when President Woodrow Wilson began supporting women's suffrage. Three years later, the Nineteenth Amendment was added to the Constitution, legally giving women the right to vote in all elections.
