Alice Paul

"Alice Paul was one of the leading figures responsible for the passage of the 19th Amendment (woman suffrage) to the U.S. Constitution.
After the 1920 victory for the federal amendment, Paul became involved in the struggle to introduce and pass an Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The Equal Rights Amendment was finally passed in Congress in 1970 and sent to the states to ratify. However, the number of states necessary never ratified within the specified time limit and the Amendment failed.
Paul also was active in the Peace movement, stating at the outbreak of World War II that if women had helped to end World War I, the second war would not have been necessary."
Paul died on July 9,1977 in New Jersey. I appreciate her dedication and hard work on my behalf.
