Detailed explanation-1: -A leader in the fight to ratify the 19th Amendment in 1920 to extend voting rights to women, Alice Paul authored the Equal Rights Amendment 1923 and spent the rest of her life fighting for its ratification to ensure the U.S. Constitution protects women and men equally.
Detailed explanation-2: -Founded in the crucial final years of the suffrage movement by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, the National Woman’s Party played a groundbreaking role in securing passage of the 19th Amendment and women’s Constitutional right to vote.
Detailed explanation-3: -Paul went to Mabel Vernon to help her organize a picketing campaign. In January 1917, the NWP staged the first political protest and picketing at the White House. Picketing had been legalized by the 1914 Clayton Antitrust Act, so the women were not doing anything illegal.
