Alice Paul

and after they refused to eat, Alice Paul was force fed. This left an impression on me because in order for someone to go through all of the pain, they must have really wanted to make a point and fight for their cause. This part of the movie showed just how dedicated Alice along with all the people who supported her were for their cause, and showed to great lengths they were willing to fight. I never realized the extreme measures that these women when to get the right to vote. The goal of Carrie Chapman Catt in the movie was to stand in the way of Alice Paul in her fight…

suffrage movement and its contributors Alice Paul stated, “I always feel...the movement is a sort of mosaic. Each of us puts in one little stone, and then you get a great mosaic at the end.” Thousands of women were behind the passing and ratification of the 19th amendment in 1920 from Susan B. Anthony to Lucy Burns, a close friend of Paul’s. However, Paul was being too modest in her previous statement. She contributed much more than a little stone to the mosaic that was the women’s suffrage…

It amazed me as I watched the movie how quickly things turned violent, suddenly these women that had been protesting the whole time and had not changed anything they had done were suddenly absolutely villainess. They began to be physically attacked, harassed and degraded on a level that they had never been before. It was like watching the boulder roll downhill and once it had started nothing could stop it. It just kept gathering more and more debris and causing more destruction as it progressed.…

At first when I heard we were going to watch a movie called “Ironed Jawed Angels” I was very skeptical about it. All of a sudden once it started I was very into the movie. This movie is very powerful, it’s about a group of women trying to get the 19th amendment passed, and getting women’s equality. The leader of this suffragette group is Alice Paul. Her Best friend Lucy Burns could also be the leader, they are both very smart and dedicated. They are the women who started the big petition, they…

on jury, cannot make laws, and cannot vote. Many women had fought for equal rights, but Alice Paul dedicated her life to all 20th century women for their equal rights. Alice Paul was a huge contributor to the success of the suffrage movement because she demanded for rights right away, she created the National Woman's Party, and she started a hunger strike. Women had always been patient when it came to their rights, but Alice Paul was tired of waiting. Alice put her foot down and demanded for…

Understating Alice Paul is an important part of understanding our history as women, and even men should understand the horrors these women experienced in their time. Alice Paul has not been completely forgotten by all means, but has been forgotten on a huge level. Very few people have learned about the struggles of Paul and her fellow suffragists. Paul is one of the lucky ones in my opinion, for there are hundreds of women’s names that we will never know. There are contributions that will…
