1904 Dissidents from the International Council of Women form the more aggressive International Women Suffrage Alliance. Rev. Dr. Anna Howard Shaw takes over as president of the National American. 1906 Stanton's daughter, Harriet Stanton Blatch, returns from England and is appalled by the National American association's conservatism. She responds by forming the Equality League of Self Supporting Women, to reach out to the working class. The Women's Trade Union League coordinates a large strike by 20,000 women workers in New York's garment district.
Wealthy women support the strike with a boycott.
Through strikes, working class women connect with suffrage movement. 1910 Emma Smith DeVoe organizes a grass-roots campaign in Washington State, where women win full enfranchisement. Blatch's Equality League changes its name to the Women's Political Union. Emulating the grassroots tactics of labor activists, they organize America's first large-scale suffrage parade, which is held in New York City. With little help from the National American, California women win full voting rights.
