Abstract

The first women's march in Washington, D.C. occurred on March 3, 1913, organized by Alice Paul, a Quaker academic from New Jersey. The parade aimed to regain momentum for the suffrage campaign in the United States, which was in disarray at the time. The suffragettes used a combination of old and new tactics to advocate for women's right to vote, eventually leading to the passing of suffrage laws in several states. Despite facing opposition and harassment, the parade brought attention to the suffrage movement and pressured President Wilson to support women's suffrage. [Extracted from the article]
