[|Quotes] by [|ALICE PAUL]:
~Alice Paul
 * I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality.
 * We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote."

The [|Right to vote(African Americans)]
When could they vote?: African Americans: 1960s Women: 1920s Women of New Zealand: 1893 (the first of all the countries)

====The land of the free did not give Women and African Americans the right to vote until a couple decades ago. Back then, women all over the world did not have the right to vote. Neither did the African Americans in the USA. At that time, those who did not have simple rights as these fought hard for them. Some women would even dress as men to vote during an election, facing severe punishment if they were caught. Leaders such as Alice Paul, Susan B Anthony, Lucy Stone, and many others made many public speeches and received quite a lot of support, which at first angered officials but gradually helped shape the 'land of the Free' into how it is now.====
