December 5, 1913: “We are going to see President Wilson if it takes all Winter.”
is our daily recap of the major milestones and minor advancements that shaped women’s history in the U.S.—from suffrage to Shirley Chisholm and beyond. These posts were written by, and are presented in homage to, our late staff historian and archivist,That was the statement given out today by the National American Woman Suffrage Association on the final day of its convention here in Washington, D.C.

It began work on January second, with the opening of its headquarters in Washington, D.C., at 1420 F Street NW. Paul’s first task was to organize a massive suffrage parade and pageant for March 3rd, the day before President Wilson’s inauguration. She succeeded beyond anyone’s expectations, and the bravery of the thousands who marched is now legendary. Despite encountering a rowdy, disruptive mob and having virtually no protection by the D.C.
It also put on eight well-attended theater meetings in D.C. during the year, and some form of suffrage rally took place nearly every day, with between five and 10 some days. This heavy pace of activity obviously costs money, and all applauded Alice Paul’s ability to raise $25,000 for these efforts, $21,000 from the D.C. area and the rest from Philadelphia.
