Alice Paul and the Suffrage Endgame

The word "suffrage" means "voting is a right not a privilege." This word was on the English language since medieval times. However, in 1787, the Constitution used the word vote to refer to the "inalienable right to vote."

In 1916, Alice Paul, one of the leaders of women's suffrage movement, founded the National Women's Party, which was a political party given to the establishment of equal rights for women. Alice Paul and Lucy Burns with a group of women activists caused a break in the mainstream of the movement for women's rights and created a more radical branch, challenging the power and pushing the limits with their political protests to ensure voting rights for women in 1920.

Women's suffrage in the state of New York: How the New York pioneering feminists fought for women's rights

The struggle for women's rights began in the state of New York. In Waterloo, 13 July 1848, a social gathering hosted by activist Jane Hunt, who became the catalyst for the movement of women's rights. While the women were drinking tea, they discussed the impediments imposed on women that they did not have the right to vote, not being able to own property, had few alternative social and intellectual - and decided they wanted to change this (Frederickson, 169).

National women's party

The National Party of woman was an organization founded for women in 1917, to fight for the women's rights in the United States. It was formed specifically for the right of women to vote similarly as the men did. Remembering more than two million compatriots died during the war, Russian women again made ??a public protest for "bread and peace". Government officials opposed the motion, but the strength of the group took over. Four days after the demonstration, the Czar was forced to abdicate and the provisional Government granted women the right to vote. That historic day fell on February 23, according to the Julian calendar then in force in Russia, but according to the Gregorian calendar used in the rest of the world, was on March 8.
