Answer 1

1. It began to support the war objectives of the United States.

Harriot Stanton Blatch´s book "Mobilizing Woman-Power" (1918) highlights women's participation in World War I to show the link British and American suffragists made connecting the wartime sacrifice to women's disenfranchisement. NAWSA linked its fight for full woman suffrage with the participation in World War I and convinced President Woodrow Wilson to support what was to become the Nineteenth Amendment (1920) that officially extended the right to vote to women.
