Alice Paul, a leader in the fight for women's suffrage, or equal voting rights, zealously targeted President Woodrow Wilson. The day before his first inauguration, Paul executed a parade of 8,000 women, who marched past the White House from the Capitol calling for suffrage. The well-orchestrated procession drew a multitude of spectators and made national headlines, rallying support for the cause.
