The unknown author underlines the phrase "male-dominated organization with a women’s auxiliary".
Given Text
political scientist Aileen Kraditor has shown. Also in 1840, the American Anti-Slavery Society split into two separate groups over this issue, one admitting women to full membership and the other remaining a male-dominated organization with a women’s auxiliary. By 1848, women’s growing awareness of their need for activism on their own behalf resulted in the first American women’s rights convention in Seneca Falls, New York.
