If you don't know who Alice Paul was, you should (pardon my authoritarianism, but it's true), and you can: here.

Good on ya, Alice. All Americans appreciate your suffering and your efforts.

2. Miers hearing.

An interesting question to pose to Harriet Miers in her upcoming hearings. Wonder what Alice Paul would think of her! Progress for women has two sides.

3. Alice Would Say, "NOT Qualified!"

She had a Ph.D. in law and wrote the ERA, for crying out loud. Comparing Alice Paul and HM would be like comparing Einstein and Mr. Science (apologies to Mr. Science).

4. Interesting - thanks for posting!

I have never heard of Alice Paul before today. I'm going to share this with my kids. I want them to know who she was. This is an excellent 'American Hero'/'Courage of one's convictions' story.

Btw, I like the site (I presume it's yours)!

8. Thank you 48*** What a heroine she is.

We should have a monument for her in front of the White House.

She had guts.
