ABSTRACT
By 1926, Alice Paul had fully thrown herself back into the pursuit for equality. She continued to avoid the question of retiring from an active role in the National Woman's Party (NWP). By then, she had already carried out her decision to go to law school, earning her LLB from the Washington College of Law in 1922. She went on to earn a master's in law from American University in 1927 and a doctorate in civil law, also from American University, in 1928. Paul asked the Executive Committee to endorse an NWP initiative to establish relationships with international organizations, which it readily agreed to do. Alice Paul believed that the Declaration of Human Rights could be another crucial opportunity to further the cause of equality for women. The American Association of University Women (AAUW), founded by Bryn Mawr's president, M. Carey Thomas, created more equitable conditions for women who wanted to pursue academic careers.
