    Alice Paul and Suffragists first sought the vote,
    when odds of an Amendment’s passage seemed remote.
    When political speech was yet curtailed by law,
    Alice Paul campaigned with a faith absent flaw.
    Their brilliant 1913 pageant met with melee,
    but President Wilson at the White House was due for
    silent repartee.

    Join a Park Ranger for a special program exploring the tactics of Alice Paul in the campaign for an amendment to the Constitution enfranchising women. No tickets or reservations required.
