SPEAKER_02: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan and this is Encyclopedia Wamanica. If you're just tuning in for the first time, here's the deal. We're telling the stories of women from throughout history and around the world. You may not know about, but definitely should. Each month is themed and in honor of Women's History Month, March is all about feminists. Women who fought for gender equity. Our feminist today was a suffragist, women's rights activist and political strategist. She brought a more militant fight for the vote to the US and steered the movement for an equal rights amendment. Let's talk about the one and only Alice Paul. Alice Paul was born on January 11th, 1885 in Mount Laurel, New Jersey to William and Tacey Paul. Alice was the eldest of four children and was raised in very comfortable surroundings. The Paul family practiced the Quaker faith. Alice later cited the Quaker belief in gender equity as formative in her strong drive towards promoting women's equality. Her mother, Tacey, also had a major impact on Alice's later work. Tacey was a suffragist and a member of the National American Women's Suffrage Association herself. Alice attended Swarthmore College and graduated with a degree in biology. While there, she participated in a variety of extracurricular activities. She was a member of student government and she played field hockey, tennis and basketball. She was also a celebrated poet and was her class's commencement speaker. In 1907, Alice traveled to England to work at the Woodbrooke Settlement. While there, she met Christabel Pankhurst, who we talked about last week. Christabel introduced Alice to England's suffrage movement. It was more militant than what Alice had seen in the US. The British women fought under the motto, deeds not words, and took the words to heart. They smashed windows and went on hunger strikes, among other tactics. Alice joined the cause, later saying she broke more than 48 windows and was imprisoned multiple times. Alice returned to the US in 1910 and got to work pushing the more radical suffrage agenda she brought back from across the Atlantic. In 1913, Alice organized a suffrage parade. Shout, shout, shout, shout. Woodrow Wilson had just been elected and Alice planned her march for the day before his inauguration, purposefully stealing attention away from the president. She succeeded in making the suffrage movement front page news, but she also made the very problematic decision to ask black women to march at the back of the parade. She failed to appreciate the importance of the diverse movement, instead focusing primarily on white women. This is a mistake she would go on to repeat throughout her life. In 1914, Alice founded the National Woman's Party. She was incredibly good at rousing attention for her cause. Members of the National Woman's Party were the first people to ever picket in front of the White House. During 1917, they picketed six days a week. After women won the right to vote with the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920, the National Woman's Party had to decide what to focus on next. Alice was lobbied to work on expanding voting rights more broadly. Instead, she turned her attention to expanding women's rights outside of the electoral sphere. In 1923, Alice wrote the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution to guarantee equal rights to all American women. She actually went to law school in order to be qualified to write its language. The ERA was introduced in Congress continually until it finally passed in 1972. Still, the amendment hasn't officially been added to the US Constitution, because until recently, it lacked ratification from the required numbers of states. Today, it's actually the closest it's ever been. The ERA's tale is a long and wild story that warrants its own whole podcast. In fact, we've made one. It's called Ordinary Equality, and it's available wherever you listen. Alice passed away on July 9th, 1977. She was 92 years old. Alice Paul fought tirelessly for women's legal progress and equity in the US. She's not a perfect hero. Rather, she's a leader who changed the course of our country's history, while also having her fair share of flaws. For more, I really do recommend you check out episode three of Ordinary Equality. All month, we're talking about feminists. We've covered feminists in every theme so far. What differentiates this month is that we'll be looking at women who were particularly important to the women's rights movement, the suffrage movement, and or modern feminism and feminist theory.
