I urge you to read through, and see the essays and photographs on this rich historical resource. The parallels of what the NWP went through are so similar to what we are seeing today with the D.N.C. and even organizations like N.O.W. and N.A.R.A.L. MOST especially, this little twelve page easy to read essay will show you exactly how similar the situation is.

Some of it is heartbreaking in that it seems we have not really come as far as we thought. Some of it is so inspiring. The vision these ordinary women had, the things they planed an carried out...and what they achieved should be taught to every single child in every school in America. It wasn't taught as important when I was in school, and maybe if I had not had a suffragette g. grandmother I'd have never known to go and seek out these documents, these lives, and stories. This site is a real blessing. This one essay is only twelve pages, it's got heroines, suspense and all the drama you need to rival t.v. Take the time, to honor these women by reading their story. By seeing their faces. Some of the photographs make me feel as if I can sense them all whispering in my ear right now.

In the next few posts, I will be adding links to other treasures from this site. important to note for PUMA I think is the section "Techniques and Tactics of the National Women's Party Suffrage Campaign." VERY interesting and useful information.

The photographs can be blown up into great detail as can any on the entire section of this site. Here in loving memory of my heroine and the one whose name I try to honor by using here is the lovely and courageous Alice Paul http://memory.loc.gov/service/mss/mnwp/155/155017v.jpg
