military veterans. They risk their lives and defend the United States in order for us to be able to lives. We are able to do things like buy a home, be with our family, get an education, etc. Another example is women's right to vote.

Women want equal treatment, they do not want to be property treated as “soldiers in the working class army” (Eastman, 1.)

made the suffrage amendment attainable for the suffragists of the time. Alice Paul launched her career of suffrage with a massive suffrage parade during President Wilson’s inauguration. This grand event paved the way for rallies, lobbying, petitions, parades, election campaigns, and picketing at the White House (“Who is Alice Paul?”).
