Answer
Carrie Chapman Catt's approach to winning suffrage was a state-by-state campaign. She believed that it was more effective to focus on winning suffrage in individual states rather than trying to pass a federal amendment. Catt's strategy was successful, and by 1920, women had won the right to vote in 36 states. This paved the way for the passage of the 19th Amendment, which granted women the right to vote nationwide.
