The Woman's National Loyal League (WNLL), also known as the Woman's Loyal National League (WLNL), was the first national women's political organization.
The group was formed in 1863 in New York City by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, Martha Coffin Wright, Amy Post, Antoinette Brown Blackwell, Ernestine Rose, Angelina Grimke Weld, and Lucy Stone, and other women's rights activists.
WNLL's first objective was to lobby for an amendment to the United States Constitution to abolish slavery.
They gathered 400,000 signatures to petition the United States Congress, significantly assisting in the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment.
