Alice Paul was born on January 11, 1885 in Laurel, New Jersey. She was born into a quaker family. She visited London from 1906 to 1909 where she joined a women’s suffrage movement. When she was fighting for her rights she used very dangerous tactics that many women wouldn’t attempt at the time. While she was in London she served three prison terms for fighting for equal rights and also lead hunger strikes. Alice returned to the United States and joined the National Women’s Party. In 1923 she and others in the National Women’s Party wrote and presented the Equal Rights Amendment to congress. She died on July 7, 1977.
