The Alice Paul Institute educates the public about the life and work of Alice Stokes Paul (1885-1977) and offers heritage and girls’ leadership development programs at Paulsdale, her home and a National Historic Landmark. Paul led the final fight to get women the vote and wrote the Equal Rights Amendment. The institute honors her legacy as a role model of leadership in the continuing quest for equality.
