Title A name given to the resource Women's Rights Description An account of the resource The women's rights collection showcases women who dared to fight for rights, civil or otherwise. Throughout world history, women have frequently been excluded from full citizenship; these women sought to make their society more equitable by fighting for civil, political, economic, legal, or social rights. The women in this collection remind us that often the fight for women's rights is a fight for civil rights. They inspire us to make a positive difference towards the goal of social equality. Person An individual, biographical data, birth and death, etc. Birth Date 1885 Birthplace Moorestown, New Jersey, USA Death Date 1977 Occupation Suffragist and women's rights activist Biographical Text Alice Paul was a suffragist who famously split from the state-by-state campaign of the National American Woman's Suffrage Association to form the National Woman's Party, which was dedicated to a constitutional amendment. The NWP picketed the White House and many women, including Paul, were arrested for obstructing traffic. Paul began a hunger strike while in prison to protest the conditions there. Their campaign kept the cause of suffrage in the news during World War I and contributed to the passage of the 19th amendment enfranchising women. Not satisfied with women's still inequitable status, Paul shifted her focus to the passage of an Equal Rights Amendment. The ERA called for the rights of U.S. citizens to not be denied or abridged on the basis of sex. Although ERA has been continuously discussed in Congress since 1924, to this day there is still no amendment to the U.S. Constitution protecting rights on account of sex. Paul was a well-educated women who took a B.A. in Biology, a M.A. in Sociology, a Ph.D. in Economics, and three law degrees (LL.B., LL. M., Doctorate in Civil Laws) from various colleges.
