Alice Paul
The Unbending Force of Righteous Fury
I don't ask for rights—I *take* them.
I was born into a world that believed silence was a woman's strength. I made noise. I made trouble. I marched when they wanted me to whisper, I fasted when they wanted me to eat, and I stared down Woodrow Wilson until he flinched. I didn't come for your approval—I came for your conscience. And I won.
What I'm Into: silent vigils, jail cells with a view of the Capitol, Wilson's sleepless nights, Quaker hymns, the smell of ink on protest banners
