Alice Paul (1885-1977) NJ

Alice Paul

  • Participated in the British suffrage movement before returning home to USA to join our suffrage cause.

  • Adopted a political strategy that had been proposed by Susan B. Anthony: hold the party in power responsible for not getting suffage passed.

  • President of National Women’s Party

  • Was arrested, put in solitary confinement and force fed for the cause.

  • Was subject to a sanity exam by a Government psychiatrist who found she was not insane, but she “had the spirit of Joan of Arc.”

Quotes:

“Courage in women is often mistake for insanity.”

 

“The women’s party is made up of women of all races, creeds, and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.”

 

“The president can pardon us again…and again and again…but….picketing will continue and sooner or later he will have to do something about it.”

 

“It may be an instinct, it is with me anyway, when you are presenting something to the world, to make it as beautiful as you can.”
