In addition, in her later years, Catt repudiated her earlier nativist statements, calling herself “a regular jingoist.” In her 1909 address to ISWA, Catt stated, "...our task will not be fulfilled until the women of the whole world have been rescued from those discriminations and injustices which in every land are visited upon them in law and custom." She also opposed diluting the 19th Amendment by adding the word “white” or by espousing the alternative Shafroth-Palmer Amendment, which would have allowed states the autonomy to draft suffrage legislation as they saw fit. In 1918, when Catt was president, NAWSA lobbied Congress to amend the Hawaii Organic Act to allow the territory to enfranchise women, including Native Hawaiian women.
