Alice was one of the most significant women in the women’s movement. She went to England and participated in the movement with Emmeline Pankhurst. There she was arrested and endured forced feedings. On her return, she organized the first Women’s March in Washington DC. She and Lucy Burns created the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. 


She organized the first ever campaign to picket the White House. She was instrumental in the 19th amendment passing and introduced the first Equal Rights Amendment in 1923.
