The Suffragette Movement: Picketing the White House
Description
An account of the resource
A central tactic for the National Woman's Party (NWP) was picketing the White House. Designed to be high-profile and attention grabbing, women came to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the express purpose of publicizing the cause through action. Various associations of women suffragists affiliated with the activist stance of the NWP came and protested. The signs seen in the collection photographs frequently allude to the phrases Wilson used in describing America's role as the protector of democracy during the First World War. After passage of the Espionage Act in 1917, NWP picketers were often considered subversive and arrested for impeding the war effort. Wilson even went so far as to task the newly formed Secret Service with keeping an eye on the NWP's activities.

Description
An account of the resource
In this image we see three women in the foreground. Two are NWP picketers and the third is a police woman who is in the process of arresting the picketers. It has been estimated that close to 300 NWP members were arrested and near 100 picketers were imprisoned for varying lengths of stay. The woman in the background is holding aloft a banner showing the colors of the NWP white, gold and purple. White for the purity of their intentions, gold for the justice of their cause and purple for the spirit in which they pursued it.

Title

The Suffragette Movement: An Introduction
Subject
The topic of the resource
A general overview of the development of the Congressional Union, its split from The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), the first picketing of the White House and the response.
Description
An account of the resource
In 1913 Alice Paul and Lucy Burns returned to the United States from the United Kingdom. The two women sought to create a political entity that would agitate for woman's suffrage at the federal level. For decades, the primary woman's suffrage association, the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) had focused on a campaign geared towards the granting of suffrage on a state by state basis. By 1913, just over a handful of states had granted women the right to vote and the suffrage movement suffered from a crisis of leadership as older leaders like Elizabeth Cady Stanton were asked to step aside for a new generation of organizers. Carrie Chapman Catt was the president of NAWSA when Burns and Paul returned from England.
Paul and Burns had been radicalized in England by the aggressive and often violent suffrage movement they had joined and protested with. Emily Davison, a radical suffragette in England, had just thrown herself under the king's horse at the Epsom Derby. Killing herself in an attempt to draw attention to the suffrage movement. Below is a link to a short video of Davison at Epsom Derby that shows her walking onto the track and being struck by the king's horse.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TH_r6-JpO9Q&feature=related
In this atmosphere of radical deeds in support of suffrage for women Paul and Burns sought to use the tactics they had learned in England to gain a media profile for themselves and their movement. Eschewing the violence of the English radicals their newly formed Congressional Union would focus on lobbying at the Federal level. The pair used their skills as promoters to put the national amendment for woman's suffrage on the front page. Planning huge rallies and gaudy parades the pair of Burns and Paul seemed to be getting great things done.
When the First World War came to American shores in 1916 indirectly, and directly with America's entry in 1917, the suffrage movement in the United States was torn. A choice was made to support the war and the Democratic president, Woodrow Wilson who had done nothing to advance the suffrage amendment, or to oppose the president because of his feet dragging on suffrage. NAWSA, led by Catt, chose to work wholeheartedly with the government even if it meant putting aside organizing for the suffrage campaigns across the states. The Congressional Union, led by Paul and Burns, would split off from NAWSA and continue to organize and agitate for woman's suffrage in America. Renamed the National Woman's Party, Paul and Burn's organization continued to grow in strength but its aggressive, however nonviolent, protesting earned it the ire of Woodrow Wilson.
Blatant in their support for the Republicans in 1916 the NWP had to focus on changing the path of a Democratic president and Congress it had tried to defeat at the polls. The organization eventually decided to use a mainstay of labor protests: the picket line. Furthermore, the organization proposed to picket the White House, something that had never been done before. At the time it was widely considered disrespectful and unpatriotic especially as it became clear that the country was going to war. The picketers were arrested by police, beaten by crowds, subject to the verbal and physical abuse of passersby and in one well known case they suffered a series of brutal beatings while incarcerated at the hands of the guards.
This social movement was the first of the liberation movements that would sweep the United States throughout the twentieth century. The effort of women like Alice Paul and Lucy Burns to hold the Suffragist parade in Washington presaged that of the numerous marches on Washington throughout the past century. Picketing the White House led to the house's denigration as an untouchable symbol of the nation and many, many more protesters would march up and down Pennsylvania Avenue in the decades after Alice Paul and Lucy Burns were arrested outside the gates. Not only were these women pioneers in the rights of their sex, they were pioneers for all the groups excluded from their privileges and duties as citizens of the United States.

The Suffragette Movement: Backlash
Description
An account of the resource
The attention grabbing tactics of the National Woman's Party (NWP) frequently brought the ire of authorities down on the protesters. While never as aggressive in their tactics as the English movement, the NWP still suffered from the government's indifference and brutality. Numerous instances, some of which are contained in this collection, of police apathy resulted in protesters being beaten by a mob. Most infamous of the depredations suffered by the protesters was the infamous "Night of Terror" on November 14, 1917, women who had been arrested for picketing the White House were beaten by guards in their cells. The publication of these events eventually galvanized opinion in favor of the Suffrage Amendment leading to its eventual passage in 1919.

Some women were chained to the doors of their cell, one was thrown to the floor and her cell mate believed her dead from the way she lay still after this attack. The subsequent publication of the abuse in national newspapers helped draw support for the federal amendment to grant women the right to vote.</p>

PROTEST FOR PICKETS SENT TO PRESIDENT:Mrs. Belmont Tells Him Their Treatment in Washington Jail Is Inhuman.
Subject
The topic of the resource
The treatment of incarcerated picketers was often severe and sometimes brutal. The NWP constantly sought to get its members freed by having them classified as political prisoners and petitioning the White House for their release.
Description
An account of the resource
The article describes the poor conditions that Alice Paul and other picketers are enduring in prison calling them political prisoners it asks why they are held in a jail for murders. The article also goes on to describe the next picket of the White House in the coming days. The article, written on November 10, 1917, comes four days before the infamous "Night of Terror" and the protest referred to in the article is most likely the same that caused the violent beatings of several women while in their cells. It is a grisly reminder of knowing what is going to happen and the hopeful tone taken by the picketers who want to be allowed to march is heart-rending.

The Suffragette Movement: Radicalization
Description
An account of the resource
The Suffragette movement became radicalized when Alice Paul created the Congressional Union in 1913, which became the National Woman's Party (NWP)in 1917. A breakaway group from the umbrella organization The National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA), the NWP advocated for an aggressive campaign of picketing, speeches and parades to galvanize support for women's suffrage. In this pursuit the NWP was driven by two suffragettes in particular, Alice Paul and Lucy Burns, who became acquainted when working for the suffragette movement in England in the early years of the 1910's. The English Suffragette movement had been radicalized by Emily Pankhurts call for "Deeds not words" in pursuit of women's suffrage. This collection outlines in pictures and articles the English Suffragist movement, its radicalization and the development of the radical suffragist movement in the United States.

Two Americans in Guildhall Exploit
Subject
The topic of the resource
This article details the emergence of Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in the radical suffragist movement in England. It also credits Alice Paul with originating the hunger strike as a way to protest imprisonment.
Description
An account of the resource
The Guildhall Exploit was an assault on the refined world of the English government. Long accustomed to relying on a stubborn style of compromise the British government was slow to recognize the seriousness of the suffragist movement. Smashing windows and confronting politicians were the tactics of the suffragists in England, particularly those who followed the example of Emily Pankhurst. The first article is the earliest article I could find that talks about Alice Paul and Lucy Burns in detail about their efforts in England. The article credits Alice Paul with inventing the hunger strike, a claim, if it can be substantiated, that could alter the way we think about the origins of social protest the world over.

The Suffragette Movement: Backlash
Description
An account of the resource
The attention grabbing tactics of the National Woman's Party (NWP) frequently brought the ire of authorities down on the protesters. While never as aggressive in their tactics as the English movement, the NWP still suffered from the government's indifference and brutality. Numerous instances, some of which are contained in this collection, of police apathy resulted in protesters being beaten by a mob. Most infamous of the depredations suffered by the protesters was the infamous "Night of Terror" on November 14, 1917, women who had been arrested for picketing the White House were beaten by guards in their cells. The publication of these events eventually galvanized opinion in favor of the Suffrage Amendment leading to its eventual passage in 1919.

Description
An account of the resource
This article describes the arrest of two picketers, one of whom is Lucy Burns, outside the White House. The article relate that Burns was called on by a female officer to go peacefully and relinquish the banner she was carrying with her associate. Burns refused, calling the banner her property and challenging the officers to take it from her. Particularly poignant in the article is the letter written by a Russian émigré praising the women for their staunch adherence to democratic values. This letter is then denounced by the official Russian government representatives in Washington as it would jeopardize their relationship with President Wilson.

A name given to the resource
The Suffragette Movement: Picketing the White House
Description
An account of the resource
A central tactic for the National Woman's Party (NWP) was picketing the White House. Designed to be high-profile and attention grabbing, women came to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with the express purpose of publicizing the cause through action. Various associations of women suffragists affiliated with the activist stance of the NWP came and protested. The signs seen in the collection photographs frequently allude to the phrases Wilson used in describing America's role as the protector of democracy during the First World War. After passage of the Espionage Act in 1917, NWP picketers were often considered subversive and arrested for impeding the war effort. Wilson even went so far as to task the newly formed Secret Service with keeping an eye on the NWP's activities.
