Alice Paul has been compared to as "Joan of Arc, and it is useless to try to change it. She will die but she will never give up." - Physician's report to prison officials,1917
She especially liked the tales of Charles Dickens as a child, becoming a shy and modest student, with not much time for frivolous pursuits.
She became involved with women's suffrage because "It wasn't something I had to think about", equality was one of their principals as quakers.
Remarkable thoughts-
- Alice Paul believed that she would be better equipped to champion the cause of women's rights if she were trained thoroughly in law.
- Chaired the Women's Research Federation in Europe, where she founded the World Women's Party.
- She never married, moved in with her sister in the United States upon her return, and continued to actively participate in causes.
Rallied into her 80's, absolute modesty and a tendency to care a little about the past
