Alice Paul, the National Woman's Party and the vote : the first civil rights struggle of the 20th century / by Cahill, Bernadette,author.(CARDINAL)617932;
Includes bibliographical references and index.When women picketed the White House demanding the vote on January 10, 1917, they broke new ground in political activism. Demanding that President Wilson influence Congress, they marched in the streets in the nation's first ever coast-to-coast campaign for political rights. Women were imprisoned for peaceful protests, went on hunger strikes and were beaten and tortured by authorities. But they won the 19th Amendment, ensuring that the right to vote could not be denied because of gender. Their successful nonviolent civil rights campaign established a precedent for those that followed, giving them the tools-including the vote-needed to advance their goals. This book chronicles the work of Alice Paul and the National Woman's Party and their influence on American political activism. Book jacket.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 253-274) and index.Quaker, social worker, suffragette! -- "Thrilling times" -- Philadelphia story -- Marching where the men march -- "I did not know men could be such fiends" -- The split -- Summer of discontent -- Young women go West -- Field trip -- Miss Paul and Mr. Wilson -- A martyr is born -- Silent sentinels -- "Women are always hippodroning around here" -- Banner days -- Pardon to prison -- Night of terror -- Stalemate -- Victory! -- Forward into light."Alice Paul began her life as a quiet girl from a strict Quaker family in New Jersey. But as a young woman, an interest in social work brought her to England, where she apprenticed with the militant suffrage movement there, led by Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughters. Upon her return to the United States, Alice founded her own suffrage movement. Calling themselves "Silent Sentinels," she and her followers were the first protestors to picket the White House. Behind bars, they went on hunger strikes and were force-fed and brutalized. Years before Gandhi's campaign of nonviolent resistance, and decades before civil rights demonstrations, Alice Paul and her followers practiced peaceful civil disobedience. In 1920, a woman's right to vote finally became law. In celebration of the 90th anniversary of the Sentinels' great victory, here at last is the inspiring story of the woman who dedicated her life to winning universal suffrage for women and helped propel that dream to reality"--Provided by publisher.
