Today we remember Alice Paul, a suffragist and women’s rights activist. She campaigned for the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was ratified on this day in 1920. Paul also wrote the ERA - the Equal Rights Amendment. Though the 19th Amendment was a huge step forward, it wasn’t the end of the story—or the end of the fight for equality. The Voting Rights Act wasn’t passed until 1965 and barriers to voting still persist. #19thAt100 #BecauseOfHerStory | Smithsonian Channel
