Alice Paul and Women Rights Essay - Vinay Adukalil - 23.04.2015 - Period 3 Alice Paul was a woman suffragist, woman rights activist and the main leader for the campaign for the 19th amendment which prohibited sex discrimination in the rights to vote. Alice Paul was born on January 11th 1885. She was born in Mooretown in New Jersey. She was a decedent of William Penn, the Quaker founder of Pennsylvania. Her mother was a woman suffragist even though her family views of women were that they were different than men. She used to go to her mother?s suffragist campaigns and meetings which helped her to fight for women rights in the future. She formed the National Woman?s Party with Lucy Burns. She suffered a lot to get these rights but at the end it played out well.

The Territory of Wyoming passes the first law in the nation giving women over age 21 the right to vote. After joining the Union in 1890, Wyoming becomes the first state to permit women the right to vote in all elections, although in 1887, Kansas al- lowed women to vote in municipal elec- tions. The colonies adopt the English system of property ownership for married women, meaning women cannot own property in their own name or keep their own earnings. By 1900, every state will have passed leg- islation modeled after New York?s Mar- ried Women?s Property Act (1848), which grants married women the right to keep their own wages and to own property in their own name. 1769 1848 1868 1869 1869 Racial Equality Issue Splits Two Suffrage Associations
