ALICE PAUL is credited as one of the leading figures responsible for the passage of the 19th Amendment (woman suffrage) of the U.S. Constitution. To her honor, the Equal Rights Amendment is sometimes called the Alice Paul Amendment.

• Crystal Eastman about Alice Paul: History has known dedicated souls from the beginning, men and women whose every waking moment is devoted to an impersonal end, leaders of a "cause" who are ready at any moment quite simply to die for it. But is it rare to find in one human being this passion for service and sacrifice combined first with the shrewd calculating mind of a born political leader, and second with the ruthless driving force, sure judgment and phenomenal grasp of detail that characterize a great entrepreneur.
