Taking a more aggressive approach to women's suffrage was arguably more impactful in the short term. Alice Paul learned how to u
se this aggressive approach in England and brought it to the United States. For a while, she held a leadership position with the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She helped organize the March on Washington held on March 2, 1913, the day before President Wilson's inauguration. The parade was led by a human rights lawyer riding a white horse, and behind her women marched in costumes reflecting the nations that had already given women the vote. Multiple floats, bands, brigades, and costumed women paraded on through Washington, D.C. However, during the parade of protest, some men attacked the women and behaved poorly, and the police did nothing to stop it. The actions of the men led to an inquiry, which brought women's suffrage significant public awareness. However, some women did not agree with Paul's methods. Paul ultimately formed a separate group, which became known as the National Woman's Party. This group of women held marches and hunger strikes. They were also the first organization to organize a picket of the White House in January 1917. While their choice to picket during World War I angered some, their methods did make an impact and paved the way for women's suffrage to become law. Both peaceful and aggressive approaches contributed to the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 18, 1920. On November 2, women across the nation voted, which marked the beginning of the ongoing struggle to reform the rights of women in the United States.
