EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, Alice Paul, a prominent American Quaker, suffragist, and feminist, is captured in 1917, during her unwavering campaign for women's suffrage and the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment to the US Constitution. Paul, dressed in a simple blouse and skirt, gazes directly into the camera with a determined expression, her hands folded in her lap. Born in 1885, Paul was a key figure in the women's suffrage movement, organizing the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) and leading the National Woman's Party, which advocated for a more militant approach to securing the right to vote for women. Paul's activism was rooted in her Quaker beliefs, which emphasized equality and social justice. The Nineteenth Amendment, which prohibits sex discrimination in the right to vote, was ratified in 1920, making Paul's efforts a pivotal moment in American history. This photograph, taken at Harris & Ewing's photographic studio, captures a pivotal moment in Paul's life and the women's suffrage movement. The image is a testament to Paul's unwavering commitment to women's rights and her role as a trailblazer for future generations. This photograph is part of the Harris & Ewing Collection at the Library of Congress, which documents the people, places, and events of the early 20th century. The collection, which includes glass negatives, provides a valuable historical record of American history. This image of Alice Paul is a powerful reminder of the importance of activism and the role of individuals in shaping the course of history.
