Alice Paul

1885 – 1977

Alice Paul was a fiercely determined American suffragist, feminist, and political strategist who served as a primary architect of the modern women’s rights movement. Raised in a Quaker tradition that valued gender equality, she famously broke away from mainstream organizations to deploy more radical, militant protest tactics—such as White House picketing and hunger strikes—to force voting rights onto the national stage. Her relentless, uncompromising leadership was highly instrumental in securing the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920
