HISTORIX Vintage 1921 New National Women's Party at The White House Poster Photo - 8x10 Inch Women Asking for Equal Rights Legislation Wall Art Print

Taken after the passage of legislation that gave women the right to vote in the United States, this iconic vintage photograph shows the National Woman's Party asking for full equal rights from the federal government. The President of the Woman's National Party at this time was Alice Paul, who was a champion that continued the work begun by early women's rights activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. Paul was a vocal advocate for peaceful protests and would become a prominent figure in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1950s and 1960s. Her work was pivotal in having women included in the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and Paul remains one of the most iconic advocates for women's rights in the United States. Paul led the National Woman's Party for five decades and was dedicated to women's rights across the globe. Paul earned a master's degree from the University of Pennsylvania, focusing on political science, economics, and sociology. After the 19th Amendment was ratified, Paul went on to earn a law degree from the Washington College of Law at American University. This photo captures decades of activism and hard work from women across America inspired by early female pioneers like Stanton and Anthony, as well as other early advocates like Lucretia Mott. Women's contributions to our collective history cannot be underestimated. Early activists like Paul and others laid the foundation for future generations to continue the fight for women's rights. This is an important piece of feminist history.
