apr 2, 1913 - Congressional Union Formed
Description:
The Congressional Union was formed by Alice Paul and originally shared the same ideals as NAWSA, but later would change some of their strategies. But, it still had the same goal of getting the right for women to vote. It’s goal was to appeal to young women to take direct action and organize big demonstrations to get their point across. One of these demonstrations would be picketing at the White House, which got them arrested in 1917.
