Notes:

Born in New Jersey, Alice Paul received both her master's and doctoral degrees in sociology from the University of Pennsylvania. After working three years in the British suffragette movement, she returned in 1910 to the United States, where she founded the Woman's Party. Adopting the political strategies of the British suffragettes, Paul led the 50,000 members of her party in an eight-year fight to get the vote for women with a federal amendment rather than through state legislation.; Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Pennsylvania, 1912.
