978-1-62979-323-8. 17.95. Paul's inspiration to become a political activist for the fair treatment and rights of women began during her 2 1/2 years in England. While extending her "beyond graduate" education, she became a suffragette in London's -- Women's Social and Political Union. This involvement prepared her for a leadership role in America's -- National Woman's Party. She worked tirelessly for the women's right to vote, anti-sex discrimination, civil rights, and the Equal Rights Amendment. Included in the book are: a very detailed index; a mini -- who's who section of approximately 30 additional women; an extensive bibliography; and a thorough listing of sources for quotations. There are also an ample number of good quality b/w photographs distributed throughout the book -- many of which are properties of the Library of Congress. E.M. Roublow (ret.)
