Alice Paul

Activist

Alice Stokes Paul was a pivotal American Quaker suffragist, feminist, and women's rights activist. As a main leader and strategist of the campaign, her actions were instrumental in the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibits sex discrimination in the right to vote. Paul, alongside Lucy Burns and others, strategized events such as the Woman Suffrage Procession and the Silent Sentinels which led to the amendment's passage in 1920. After this victory, she spent half a century as leader of the National Woman's Party, fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment to secure constitutional equality for women.
