Released around the end of the first world war it depicts a beautiful drawing of a woman
holding the american flag. This is apart of the historical context because it was just after
the war.

An official source given by the library Congress, it shows as the titles implies. Alice Paul
went to prison three times. During her time in prison she went through tough times such
as being force fed, and staying in unsanitary conditions.

A photo that is of Alice Paul. Is apart of the various pictures of her throughout the site.
By gathering photos of Alice I am able to display them throughout the website
Ewing & Harris. Woodrow Wilson. n.d. Library of Congress. Www.loc.gov/. Web. 22 Nov. 2015
Woodrow Wilsons photo can give imagery to who was inaugurated and who it was that
led the country during the first world war. By showing how Woodrow looked like it
showed the context and also as to how the photo is naturally in grey its understood that
this wasnt too long ago but it wasnt extremely recent either.

This was one of the many actions the ERA took other examples are such as chaining
themselves to the white house fences. This was around the time the country was now
going through a time of war when the world wars had started not too long ago. Some
suffragists even began to call president Woodrow kaiser because he was not showing
democracy by attempting to pass the 19th amendment.

A day before the presidential inauguration Alice Paul had arranged one of the largest
parades with over 5,000 people from all over the union. The next day Woodrow would be
inaugurated and the parade would still be on national headlines as a result of the violence
projected on the marchers. By showing more of the historical content it is easier to
understand the topic.

Alice also discusses the horrendous events and goes on briefly about her hunger strike.
This is important because equality meant so much for Alice to the point of dying of
malnutrition or even of starvation. She also talks about being forced fed food from the
workers and treated cruelly held down by several people only to not properly intake the
food.

This goes to show that not every woman was a suffragists or supported the cause. Many
women were fine being supported by their husbands and raising the children or taking
care of the house. This shows a new light and another perspective as to how the public
felt about suffragists.
Service News Bain. Susan B. Anthony. 1910. Library of Congress. Www.loc.gov/. Web.
20 Nov. 2015.
The photo does not depict Susan B. Anthony, but another feminist who is younger than
Anthony. Even though its 1910 it is evident in the photo that Susan has had an impact on
people as the woman is carrying a sign with her name on it.
Service News Bain. Alice Paul. 1900. Library of Congress. Www.loc.gov. Web. 20 Nov. 2015.
This photo is of a younger Alice Paul in 1900 and shows how she looks in comparison to
her older self. By using older pictures of her and the more recent ones it is noticeable how shes
aged and also has grown as a person. With this photo I am able to add it into the portion of her
brief bio.

This is another perspective on the presidential inauguration taken from a different angle.
Washington, Studio Taylor. Alice Paul, head-and-shoulders portrait, facing left, in academic
robes. 1913. Library of Congress. www.loc.gov.com. Web. 21 Nov 2015.
This shows that Paul was educated, and graduated. With more photos that show her
growth it helped me see that she pursued an education. By seeing Alice at a different
point in her life it makes me think as to what she was like before being as radical as she
was picketing the white house and forming parades.

Rose was also in prison around the same time as Alice Paul and shows how both of them
are poorly treated being force fed and suffering during their sentence. It correlates to the
other stories about being in prison during hunger strikes.
SECONDARY SOURCES

Shirley is retelling how Alice influenced and changed the mindset of others. It now shows
the impact as to how shes affected modern day feminism along with the mark she made
through her riots and her suffering.
Bourke Joanne. Women on the Home Front In World War One. BBC. Web. 15 Oct. 2015.
A secondary source providing an insight what went on during the war. More specifically
women during the war and as to how their lives were affected. With the men away
fighting for their country much of the industry was now run by women. While there were
nurses on the battle front back home there were much more women who had to provide
for their families.
Helmer Star Diana. Woman Suffragists. New York: Profiles, 1998. Print.
This source accounts and tells the life of several ERAs and their struggles. An insight on
the jobs and type of work females did. There is about 11 pages of Alice Pauls life. But
besides that everything thing is placed in an orderly manner with chapters organized by
years.
2010. Print.
A biographical novel written by Mary Walton in which she writes about Alice Paul who
practiced civil disobedience for equality in both sexes. It helped me understand what the
struggle really was.
