The New York Times article "Pressure for Suffrage: Three Interlocking Systems of Political Machinery Used by Women in Converting the Members of Congress, 25 May 1919

Description

This article outlines the three chief lobbying strategies of the National Woman's Party. The first was the maintenance of a detailed card index system with information on each member of congress and their voting histories. The second revolved around the NWP's political committee which would hold meetings with men who had some form of financial or personal influence over senators or representatives. The third strategy was NWP outreach to state-level organizations who would in turn pressure congress from below.
