About Woman's Journal:

founded after the post-Civil War split in the woman's movement, the Woman's Journal represented the views of what was considered the more conservative of the two branches. The AWSA supported winning suffrage state-by-state, limited its agenda to woman's vote, and did not oppose black (male) suffrage and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth constitutional amendments. The AWSA merged with former rival National Woman Suffrage Association in 1890 to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association.
