Her mother was a suffragist and took Alice to meetings with her which is how she was introduced to it all.

 Alice's grandfather was a co-owner of the Swarthmore College which she graduated from with a degree in biology in 1905. After graduating she went to the New York School of Social Work. After perusing her studies she went to England in 1906 as she was going to do some settlement work. During the three years she was there she was jailed 3 times for doing her suffragist work and starting riots. ]]> 2019-02-21 23:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333956968 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959496 2019-02-21 23:41:25 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959496 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959881 2019-02-21 23:43:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959881 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959967 2019-02-21 23:43:45 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333959967 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960686 1) During Pauls travels to England she met a group of women that were a part of the suffrage movement. Within that group she met a lady named Lucy Burns and together they learned many different protest skills and ways to convince. In 1902 and her new friend left back to America and there joined the NAWSA. Together with the help from a lot of other suffragettes, they organised riot and protests and marches of all sorts some even being out the front of the white house. No matter what happened to them they still continued to fight on for what they believed was right.
2) Alice helped other women and young girls all around the world to fight back against the rules of education. She believed that everyone deserved a chance to have education and to be able to fulfil their dreams.
3)  in 1917 over 1,000 protestors or "silent sentinels" as they were called more often. They protested for 18 long months outside of the White House where they took physical and verbal abuse from passers by. The police soon arrested them for 'obstructing traffic' rather than actually letting them fight for their voice. She was then sentenced to 7 months in jail but affectively organised a hunger strike as a way of protesting. The jail doctors threatened to forced feed her or send her to an insane asylum. Although these awful things happened to her she still continued to fight for womens rights. ]]> 2019-02-21 23:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960686 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960707 Although Alice was not religious she had a very strong world view that everyone deserves to have a fair chance of life and education. She believed that the world the way it was nothing but wrong and unfair, she saw how the world was and how people treated women and others and she knew that something had to change. She wanted everyone to be equal and she and the other suffragists were willing to do anything to make that happen. ]]> 2019-02-21 23:47:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960707 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960735 I picked Alice as I already knew what a Suffragist was and how much they have done for our world and how they have shaped it to be the way it is. Alice really inspired me because she found something that she was passionate about from a young age and stuck with it until it was no longer such a big problem anymore. Her and her little group of suffragist were frowned upon by many different people for their 'unladylike' manners and for going against what had always been. but no matter how many people tried to discard them they kept on fighting.

I feel as though Alice was such a big inspiration to me as I believe that related myself back to her. Or maybe it was like I realised that there is so much in this world that I could fight for and I could make a difference in but I have just never really though about it before. ]]> 2019-02-21 23:47:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960735 ebeck01 https://padlet.com/ebeck01/bxfwltfn2o35/wish/333960766
