ABSTRACT
Movement, 1945 to the 1960s, New York: Oxford University Press, 1987 Stevens, Doris, Jailed for Freedom, New York: Boni and Liveright, 1920 The National Woman’s Party was founded by Alice Paul, who had become disillusioned with the tactics of the National American Woman Suffrage Association in its attempt to gain the right to vote for women in the United States. She believed the fight for suffrage had to be waged much more militantly, and formed a group initially called the Congressional Union, which staged parades, and pickets of the White House. In 1917 the group changed its name to the National Woman’s Party (NWP).
