The women’s suffrage movement in the United States formally began In 1848 at Seneca Falls, New York. But by the start of the 20th century 52 years later there had been painfully little objective progress. A new generation of women, led by Alice Paul, decided a change in tactics was necessary. This new approach, patterned after what Alice had learned from Emmeline Pankhurst in England, was confrontational and disruptive, and also proved very successful. Gary Midkiff relates the story of how Alice and her contemporaries fought through the final mile to the 19th amendment.
