Alice Paul reignited the sleepy suffrage moment with dramatic demonstrations and provocative banners. After women won the vote in 1920, Paul wrote the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which would make all the laws that discriminated against women unconstitutional. Paul saw another chance to advance women's rights when the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 began moving through Congress. Kops introduces readers to this relatively unknown leader of the women's movement, and the changing times in which she lived. No library descriptions found. |

Not that I'm remotely like Alice Paul except in the sense that I'm argumentative and difficult to get along with, but I can relate to her frustration a little bit, I think. ( )
