The Woman Suffrage Party (WSP) was a New York city political organization dedicated to women's suffrage. It was founded in New York by Carrie Chapman Catt at the Convention of Disfranchised Women in 1909.[1] WSP called itself "a political union of existing equal suffrage organizations in the City of New York."[2] WSP was many New York women's first experience with politics and "contributed directly to the passage of a woman suffrage amendment in New York state."[3]
