Alice Paul

Alice Paul was a prominent American suffragist and women's rights activist in the early 20th century. She played a key role in the campaign for women's right to vote, advocating for equal rights through civil disobedience. Paul organized protests, including the 1913 Women's Suffrage Procession, and faced imprisonment for picketing the White House. Her strategies, such as hunger strikes and protests, highlighted the urgency of women's suffrage. Paul's dedication led to the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, granting women the right to vote, making her a pivotal figure in the fight for gender equality in the United States.
