When women picketed the White House demanding the vote on January
17, 1917, they broke new ground in political activism. They
petitioned the President and Congress and marched in the streets in
the nation's first ever coast to coast campaign for political
rights. Women were imprisoned for peaceful protest, went on hunger
strikes and were beaten and tortured by authorities. But they won
the 19th Amendment, ensuring that the right to vote cannot 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.
