The 19th Amendment to the US Constitution was ratified August 18, 1920. The Alabama Equal Suffrage Association (AESA), founded in 1912, was organized to promote the right to vote for white women in the state. When the 19th Amendment was ratified, the AESA was dissolved and many members joined the League of Women Voters.
One famous women's organization is the League of Women Voters. It was founded right after women got the right to vote in the United States. Its purpose is to help American voters be better informed. The League of Women Voters is non-partisan; it provides accurate information about the positions of all the various candidates, as well as informing voters about local or national issues. The League also teaches about the voting process, so that new voters will understand how they cast their ballot.Another women's organization is Big Sisters. This organization is non-partisan, non political, and open to participants from all races and religions. Big Sisters matches adult female volunteers with young girls who need mentors. In the past, these were girls who had no mother, but these days, the girls may come from a home where there are parents but the family is being affected by poverty or a bad neighborhood or problems in the schools. A Big Sister spends time with her "Little Sister," usually on a weekend day, taking her out to fun places and being a friend and a role model.OR*National Association of Colored Women(NACW)-To improve living and working conditions for African-American women.*National American Women Suffrage Association(NAWSA)-To help women win the right to vote.
