Women associated with the party staged a very innovative suffrage parade on March 3, 1913, the day before Wilson's inauguration.

During the group's first meeting, Paul clarified that the party would not be a traditional political party and therefore would not endorse a candidate for president during elections.
While non-partisan, the NWP directed most of its attention to President Woodrow Wilson and the Democrats, criticizing them as responsible for the failure to pass a constitutional amendment.
As a result, in 1918, Paul ran a campaign that boycotted Democrats because of their refusal to support women's suffrage.
They decided to boycott the entire party, including pro-suffrage Democrats.
Eventually, the boycott of Democrats spearheaded by the NWP lead to a Republican majority in the house.
The National Woman's Party continued to focus on suffrage as their main cause.
It refused to either support or attack American involvement in the World War, while the rival NAWSA, under Carrie Chapman Catt gave full support to the war effort.
As a result, a diverse group of activists such as pacifists and Socialists were attracted to the NWP due to its opposition to an anti-suffrage president.
