Today's Google Doodle: Alice Paul's birthday
Todays Google Doodle honors Alice Paul, the American suffragist who played an integral role in getting the 19th Amendment passed, giving women the right to vote, and was the original force behind the Equal Rights Amendment.
Joining the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) in 1912, Paul dedicated her life to womens rights. She led the Washington, DC chapter of the organization and was the first to organize groups that picketed the White House.
During Woodrow Wilsons term, Paul founded the National Womens Party. She and her Silent Sentinels demonstrated in front of the White House, marching day and night while holding banners asking questions like, Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?
Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty? Alice Paul
