Alice Paul
Alice Paul was an American suffragist and women's rights activist born on January 11, 1885. She played a crucial role in the fight for women's suffrage in the United States, advocating for the right to vote. Paul was a key figure in the National Woman's Party, which she co-founded in 1916, and she organized many protests and demonstrations to raise awareness about women's voting rights.

Paul continued to advocate for gender equality throughout her life, leaving a lasting legacy in the women's rights movement.
