Suffrage was one the early areas of a schism between white and black feminists. Though feminism as a movement was at a rise in the late 1800s and early 1900s, black women were often left behind and disregarded by the white feminists of this movement. This, however, did not stop the black feminists, who would eventually create a separate path for themselves fighting for the cause. Out of this, the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs (NACWC) founded in 1904, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) founded in 1909, and the National Association of Wage Earners founded in 1921, were born.
