By 1916,Shuler established a reputation as an organizer
by leading the western New York campaign for the state suffrage
party, a two-year campaign that led in 1915 to a referendum.
The referendum was lost, but in 1917 Shuler was chosen by NAWSA president Carrie Chapman Catt to replace Hannah Jane Patterson of Pennsylvania as the association's corresponding secretary. Along with Catt, she spent many evenings addressing mass meetings and many days holding conferences with field workers. After the Nineteenth Amendment was passed in August 1920, Shuler and Catt continued to work together. Their coauthored book, Woman Suffrage and Politics, published in 1923, is a short narrative history of the suffrage campaign beginning with the Seneca Falls Convention in 1848.
As well as being the author of three books, Ackermann gave talks on travel and temperance around the world and became a skilled and popular speaker with a wide following. In her talks, she advocated equal political, legal and property rights for women.
