Image Description:
Alice Paul was an American feminist, women's rights activist, and the figurehead and main strategist of the 1910s campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.  Along with Lucy Burns, Paul created the National Woman's Party and helped organize demonstrations, such as the Silent Sentinels, which propelled the suffrage movement to the ratification of the Amendment in 1920. Paul then spent a half century as leader of the NWP, which fought for the Equal Rights Amendment. This photograph is one of a series amassed by Caroline Katzenstein for her book, 'Lifting the Curtain,' which surveys the development of the woman's suffrage movement in the United States.
