In 1890, NWSA and AWSA merged to form the National American Woman Suffrage Association. It's leaders included Anthony and Stanton as well as Carrie Chapman Catt.

Despite being [[pro-life]], a trait that would become very uncommon with feminists as time progressed, Stanton nonetheless bore some [[liberal]] similarities with modern feminists, particularly with religion. For instance, she said, "The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation."<ref>https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/elizabeth_cady_stanton_155802</ref> She also described her experience growing up as a [[Christian]] as "suffocating and terrifying" and even opposed the tax-exempt status of churches during her time.<ref>https://christianhegemony.org/elizabeth-cady-stanton</ref> This would end her influence over the suffrage movement and NAWSA.
