Since we're a group of all girls, we should really appreciate this amazing woman... and for all you ladies and lady-ish people her accomplishments changed our lives as we know it. Alice Paul was a suffragist, feminist, and political activist who believed in equal rights for all no matter what there gender, race, or ethnicity was. Alice Paul believed in what she was doing more than most of us today, and was willing to fight for what she believed in at any cost. Thinking about Alice Paul makes you really realize just how much you can accomplish. When it came to picking our class name in history class our teacher Ms. T, told us about a bunch of so called "famous" people who the majority of us hadn't heard of. As we (assisted by Ms. T) told the stories of these important people one stood out, and that was the story of Alice Paul. Her fight for women's right to vote was amazing, and we promise you that almost every girl and the majority of the boys voted for Alice Paul to be our classes name. What spoke out to most of us was how she suffered for her cause. Alice Paul and her colleagues (upper right hand photo) even starved themselves to get their point across and had to be force fed! We look up to her now and forever.
