Harriot Stanton Blatch was educated privately until her admission to Vassar, where she graduated in 1878 in Mathematics. She then attended the Boston School for Oratory, and began to tour with her mother, in America and overseas. By 1881 she'd added the history of the American Woman Suffrage Association to Volume II of the History of Woman Suffrage, Volume I of which was largely written by her mother.

In England, Harriot Stanton Blatch joined the Fabian Society and noted the work of the Women's Franchise League. She returned to America in 1902 and became active in the Women's Trade Union League (WTUL) and the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA).
In 1907, Harriot Stanton Blatch founded the Equality League of Self-Supporting Women, to bring working women into the women's rights movement. In 1910, this organization became the Women's Political Union. Harriot Stanton Blatch worked through these organizations to organize suffrage marches in New York in 1908, 1910, and 1912, and she was the leader of the 1910 suffrage parade in New York.
The Women's Political Union merged in 1915 with Alice Paul's Congressional Union, which later became the National Woman's Party. This wing of the suffrage movement supported a constitutional amendment to give women the vote and supported more radical and militant action.
