Woman's Crusade

Meer over het boek

The book explores the life of Alice Paul, a determined suffragist who transformed from a studious Quaker girl into a leading figure of the American suffrage movement. After being inspired in England, she spearheaded the militant "Silent Sentinels," who famously picketed the White House. Their courageous protests included hunger strikes and enduring brutal treatment while advocating for women's rights. Alice Paul's commitment to nonviolent civil disobedience predated many later movements, highlighting her pivotal role in the fight for equality.
