The National American Woman Suffrage Association did not form until 1890. The NAWSA was a combination of two different suffragist groups. One was founded by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony in 1869 and was called the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA). This suffragist organization had a more feminist agenda as Stanton and Anthony sought for a broad range of equal woman's rights in addition to the right for female voting. The other suffrage group was founded by Lucy Stone and Julia Ward Howe, amongst others, and was called the American Woman Suffrage Association (AWSA). This suffragist group focused more on women's right to vote. The main difference between these two suffragist groups was that the NWSA called for a FEDERAL constitutional amendment that would grant women the right to vote; and the AWSA called for STATE action. The AWSA recommended that women should seek federal support after the campaign for black male suffrage had been won. However, even after the 15th amendment (black suffrage) which passed in 1870, the Republican party did not care to support the cause of women's suffrage rights. For another twenty years residual tension kept the two organizations apart until 1890 when the two united finally and renamed the organization the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in 1890.
Warren G. Harding, elected in 1920, was the US first president to be elected after the women's suffrage amendment was ratified.
This has happened three times. In 1876 Samuel Tilden won the popular vote, but Rutherford Hayes won the electoral majority by one vote. In 1888 Grover Cleveland lost in electoral vote to Benjamin Harrison even though he carred the popular vote. In 2000, Al Gore lost to George W. Bush but won the popular vote. ( In 1824, Andrew Jackson won both the popular vote and the electoral vote, but did not get the required majority of electoral vote and so in accordance with the law, the House of Representatives chose the president and they chose John Quincy Adams. )
Voting laws in states new to the Union, such as expanding suffrage to non-landowners and reducing property qualifications to vote, helped Andrew Jackson get elected in 1828. These changes, known as "universal white male suffrage," increased the number of eligible voters. As Jackson portrayed himself as a champion of the common man, this expansion of democracy worked in his favor and boosted his electoral support.
John Anderson won 6.6% of the popular vote in 1980 running as an "Independent".
Women who worked for suffrage won the vote by having Congress petitioned. This is what led to the creation of the 19th Amendment.

It depends on how you mean. For example suffrage was won by women in various states at different times (e.g., Wyoming, 1869) yet nationally it wasn't until the 19th Amendment (1920) that women were allowed to vote throughout the nation (and states).
