I am focussing on the event of Picketing the White House, during the women's suffrage. 

There was 10 arrests on August 28, 1917 for picketing the white house. The women were there to convince President Woodrow Wilson to pass the Anthony Amendment, which gives women the right to vote. It all started on January 10, 1917, more than 1,000 women across the country joining in. In the time between June- November 1917, 218 women were arrested, with the only intention to protest silently and hold up signs. The protesting became even more popular when the war came to Europe in April, with women holding signs saying that the United States was Democracy in name only. The whole protest and picketing act was led by Alice Paul.

I am focusing on the event of Picketing the White House, during the women's suffrage. 

There was a peaceful protest of over 5,000 women for the suffrage but it was disrupted by the Washington police. There was 10 arrests on August 28, 1917 for picketing the white house. The women were there to convince President Woodrow Wilson to pass the Anthony Amendment, which gives women the right to vote. Dozens of women testified they were insulted or injured. The suffragettes were all lead by Dr. Alice Paul. It was difficult to get the President on board with these ideas, during the first message to Congress Wilson failed to even mention the issue of women's suffrage. The suffrage parade women's suffrage members wore a red cross on their clothing to ruin the color scheme banners and the appearance of female solidarity. “The least tribute we can pay them is to make them the equals of men in political rights as they have proved themselves their equals in every field of practical work they have entered, whether for themselves or for their country.” President Woodrow Wilson.
