<P> Stanton, elderly but still very much a radical, did not fit comfortably into the new organization, which was becoming more conservative . In 1895 she published The Woman's Bible, a controversial best - seller that attacked the use of the Bible to relegate women to an inferior status . The NAWSA voted to disavow any connection with the book despite Anthony's objection that such a move was unnecessary and hurtful . Stanton afterwards grew increasingly alienated from the suffrage movement . </P> <P> The suffrage movement declined in vigor during the years immediately after the 1890 merger . When Carrie Chapman Catt was appointed head of the NAWSA's Organization Committee in 1895, it wasn't clear how many local chapters the organization had or who their officers were . Catt began revitalizing the organization, establishing a plan of work with clear goals for every state every year . Anthony was impressed and arranged for Catt to succeed her when she retired from the presidency of the NAWSA in 1900 . In her new post Catt continued her effort to transform the unwieldy organization into one that would be better prepared to lead a major suffrage campaign . </P> <P> Catt noted the rapidly growing women's club movement, which was taking up some of the slack left by the decline of the temperance movement . Local women's clubs at first were mostly reading groups focused on literature, but they increasingly evolved into civic improvement organizations of middle - class women meeting in each other's homes weekly . Their national organization was the General Federation of Women's Clubs (GFWC), founded in 1890 . The clubs avoided controversial issues that would divide the membership, especially religion and prohibition . In the South and East, suffrage was also highly divisive, while there was little resistance to it among clubwomen in the West . In the Midwest, clubwomen had first avoided the suffrage issue out of caution, but after 1900 increasingly came to support it . Catt implemented what was known as the "society plan," a successful effort to recruit wealthy members of the women's club movement whose time, money and experience could help build the suffrage movement . By in 1914 women's suffrage was endorsed by the national General Federation of Women's Clubs . </P> <P> Catt resigned her position after four years, partly because of her husband's declining health and partly to help organize the International Woman Suffrage Alliance, which was created in Berlin in 1904 with Catt as president . In 1904 Anna Howard Shaw, another Anthony protégée, was elected president of the NAWSA . Shaw was an energetic worker and a talented orator but not an effective administrator . Between 1910 and 1916 the NAWSA's national board experienced a constant turmoil that endangered the existence of the organization . </P>
