Alice Paul

Alice Paul was willing to do almost anything to help women get the right to vote. She picketed the White House. She went on hunger strikes. Many times, she was arrested and put in solitary confinement. Finally, she achieved her goal in 1920 with the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. She authored the Equal Rights Amendment, and she formed the National Women's Party.

What if women had never been given the right to vote? We see the benefits of Alice Paul's work, but what if times were as they are now, but women could not vote. Do you think it would make a difference in the presidential races? Think about this last election and what we saw of Alice Paul's hard work.

In some countries in the world a woman's right to vote is seen as a big deal or even - does not exist, something that the Western World takes so much for granted. One has to wonder about the upbringing of such a woman like Alice to demand the right to vote (her picture on a stamp below), especially when you think about how subdued women were at that time.
