Miss Alice Paul, The Heart of an Activist
Introduction
I have spent a lifetime studying Miss Alice Paul. She has been my North Star in countless ways. To her feminism was a full time vocation and nothing diminished her devotion. She lived within the etiquettes of Quakerism while applying the most radical ideas and groundbreaking public behavior. Under Alice's direction, ladies wore their hats with boots buttoned while burning the speeches of the President at the White House fence. Her social propriety was always evident while creating a major revolution.
Years tick on and my interest in Miss Paul has expanded, my investigations deepened and my passion to share my understanding of her is overwhelming. One day Alice Paul will be recognized as the first American to use Nonviolent Direct Action, Civil Disobedience and political protest within a political movement and I hope I will be one of the instruments of that righteous occasion. As we see thousands of people at the White House fence, it was Alice Paul who set this lineage in motion; relentlessly confronting the President and Congress at their very door.
We need to acknowledge her. We need to insist that history honor her. We need her point of view. We need her inspiration. We need to see her as the radical lifelong committed activist that she was. It is my hope to lift her off the pages of academic and history books, scrape off the disturbing fiction slathered on her and offer you the Alice I know, love and hold as my dearest most inspiring political activist. She is human, flawed, funny and "pure feminist." I hope you will join with me in lifting her to the rightful moniker of The American Feminist Gandhi and more.
My current deep dive into her life began in earnest December 2012 when Purdue University invited me give the keynote address at their Centennial March commemorating the Suffrage March of 1913. That unfolded into a 90 minute program. Miss Alice Paul ~ The Heart of an Activist. Half was on Miss Paul’s life and half on her relevance to our lives as modern day activists. Each time the content and relevance bloomed.
Sharing stories, activist lessons and insights about Alice Paul present modern obstacles which require a realistic examination of writing, publishing and distributing information. Starting with books; what is the lifespan of a traditional book, be it either a printed or digital? Big corporate conglomerates now dictate much of that pipeline. Secondly, teeming with ideas and activism changing daily, a book would have come to an artificial halt when the world is still turning and activism unfolding.
My vision is to build this ever expanding, open ended Headquarters for Miss Alice Paul. Adopting the tested and true model of serial installments, this will be an ever expanding body of information and goods. The plan is to pour all I know about Miss Paul and activism into this website. It will be public and available as I go. It will be dynamic, influenced by today’s news. It is my idea of fun. I hope you enjoy it too.
Leave a tip, Thank you.

I began making serious inquiry about Miss Paul in 1980. She was my touchstone for my 37 day fast for the ERA in 1982. It was because of her, we drafted legal papers making certain the state could not force feed us. Her friend, Doris Stevens’ book, Jailed for Freedom was our primary reference. My interest in Miss Paul never waned and, in 2012, I set out to read contiguously everything I had access to – calling it AP immersion. Since that time, I have read 40+ books, 100+ articles and interviewed 10 women who knew her. The most enchanting source was the November, 1972 taped interview by Amelia Fry. I carefully read every word in the 664 page transcript. I bought CDs of the first two hours of the interview just so I could hear her voice and I grieved that Amelia Fry passed on before completing her book on Alice Paul.
One day I got wind that the work was going to be completed by American / Women’s Studies scholar, J.D. Zahniser. I pre-ordered it instantly and waited six months. It was published Tuesday, June 3, 2014. It arrived Wednesday, June 4, 2014. I collected my favorite reading tools; felt tip pens, color tabs, magnifying glass and notebook. The scripted order of my adventure; copyright, index, footnotes, bibliography, acknowledgements, introduction, chapter one. FORCE FIELD – DO NOT INTERRUPT ME.
Page after page, line after line. Sheer perfection. The backstory, the reason, the lineage, the culture. Her letters, her family, her home, her schools. Even her hats! It was all there, explained as no other book came near. Her first friendships that lasted a lifetime; Lavinia Dock, Rheta Dorr, Maud Younger, Elsie Hill. I knew each and every one mentioned but never embraced with this depth. Every question filled in as never before. Miss Paul’s letters lavishly quoted, letting us all inside her thinking. Bicycle through France, study in Germany, first apartment, encountering her icon – Christabel and the portentous meeting of Miss Lucy Burns. From Gandhi to all the Pankhursts. From Alva Belmont to Doris Stevens to Dorothy Day to Rose Winslow to Jeanette Rankin and the squirrely Mr. Wilson. From biology to economics to social work to quintessential leadership – disappearing just when the applause begins. From WSPU to NAWSA to CC to CU to NWP. From Paulsdale to Lafayette Square. And the steadfast architecture of Hicksite Quakers; Forward Into Light.
If you want to know Miss Alice Stokes Paul, the Quaker genius who masterminded the American Suffrage victory, this is the book. Finally you can follow the unfolding of her inspiration, her deep understanding of power and get inside of the political complexity of the “First Wave.” So much here to find for the first time and find familiar. Within it all; Miss Alice one step ahead, widening her domain, examining her motivations but always the Equality of Women.
Of course I have to rate 5 stars. It is the best and I have read them all.
There are three things I wish were different.
1) I wish for 100 more photos. There are a few, some I have never seen, but it is not enough.
2) I wish more was said about Miss Paul or AP (as Miss Paul often signed) believing the vote was one of many steps on the path to full, global equality. Her vision was for all women, for all time.
3) I am bereft that this book ends in 1923. Alice Paul Claiming Power is more than worthy and brilliant which is why I wanted it to cover more than 35 of her 92 years. Her last 57 years is distilled in a four page epilogue. I will always long for such a wonderful book to include Miss Paul going to Geneva, founding the World Women’s Party, her resistance efforts during the war, the maddening journey with the ERA, her closing years with her greedy nephew and her rescue by the Jews she hid 30 years before.
Let there be no mistake, I will always look for that full life biography. Miss Paul did not vaporize with the success of the suffrage campaign. She cannot be reduced to this ten year segment. In fact, to the activist, her longevity with sustained purpose is her greatest legacy. I love Miss Paul. I am so grateful for this book. I have to stop now and read it all over again.

You can be certain this is not a history class or attorney talk. This is about the young Quaker girl who saw clearly that social work would never be enough to solve the problems of poverty. Beginning with her epiphany in 1906, this is the story of the unfolding of a committed vision for constitutional equality for all. Miss Paul saw suffrage as simply as a stone in the mosaic of equality, took it on fully and, when achieved, she began writing, educating and working to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution.
