Obvious errors and dubious claims[edit]

However, during the short period it lasted, the Democrats were in power,

If we ignore the 1920s, that is.

many of them were arrested by police, some were possibly torture during their periods in jail

Source? Adding the word "possibly" doesn't make it any more believable.

In 1920, the 19th amendment was ratified, but the NWP was given little, if any, credit for the new step for women's equality.

Someone with more knowledge of the suffrage movement can reinsert this if appropriate. It assumes that they deserved credit and that they did not get it. While both may be true, the other incidences of sloppiness make me cautious about repeating this.

they also staged a suffrage parade on March 3, 1913, the day before Wilson's inauguration, that was broken up by the police. Many of the NWP's members, upon arrest, went on hunger strikes

They were actually arrested while picketing the White House for the impedment of traffic Watersoftheoasis 17:16, 18 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Defunct?[edit]

...the NWP was eclipsed by other feminist groups and was defunct by 1930. The NWP's membership withered but it is inaccurate to say it went "defunct." Therefore 18:06, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the NWP were instrumental in including "sex" in the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This article is in dire need of a re-write. Should this article be tagged? Therefore 19:01, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The NWP still exists today and has eminent members. Check your sources please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tannline (talk • contribs) 21:05, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Revision needed[edit]

There are some excellent histories of the NWP, as well as the Suffragist and Equal Rights. This article needs a rewrite. Maineshepp (talk) 21:06, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

NWP: Racism, antisemitism, and "red-baiting"[edit]

Encyclopedia of the American Left, 2d, edited by Mari Jo Buhle, Paul Buhle, and Dan Georgakas, 1998, Oxford, the entry of Women's Liberation, pg. 882,states "Politically isolated, the NWP narrowed into a small, elite band of Paul's followers who frequently expressed flagrant racist, anti-Semitic, and red-baiting sentiments." Unfortunately, nothing more is said on the topic, but it is a reliable source, and the entry is written by Ruth Rosen, as of the date of publication "Professor of History at the Universty of California, Davis, and is the editor of The Maimie Papers and author of The Lost Sisterhood: Prostitution in America." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.74.25 (talk) 23:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
