The militant National Woman’s Party promoted only white middle and upper class women

Evidence

Black female suffragists found that the vote had little impact on their social status. The most militant wing of the 1920s women’s movement, the National Woman’s Party, was both racist and classist. Even though the party pledged to work for full equality for women, it actively worked to promote solely the interests of white middle and upper class women. — bell hooks, Ain’t I a Woman_ Black Women and…, 495
