 In 1914 Dorr became the first editor of "The Suffragist," official organ of the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage — the organizational forerunner of the National Women's Party.Dorr dropped out of the Socialist Party over its opposition to American entry into World War I and her belief that the organization favored the "tyranny" of a German victory in the conflict.Nevertheless, Dorr for a time retained a faith in the cause of socialism, only abandoning her allegiance to that idea in the early 1920s, following her experiences in revolutionary Russia and Czechoslovakia.
