Thesis Statement.

I believe Alice Paul was one of the reasons the 19th Amendment and Equal Rights Amendments were passed. Alice Paul joined the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) because she believed that women should the right to vote. After that she decided she wanted more, she started the National Womens Party(NWP) in 1913. This , group worked at a federal level to pass the bill. In 1920, when the 19th Amendment was passed Alice Paul wanted even more then the right to vote. She wanted the Equal Rights Amendment passed also. It took years but in 1970 the bill finally passed. Although not enough states ratified it in time it was passed within 10 years. Alice Paul was decided to equals rights for men and women, it just shows when you really want something your willing to go out and get it.
