| Summary | "The Story of the Woman's Party" by Inez Haynes Gillmore is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This detailed narrative chronicles the organizational efforts and activism of the National Woman's Party, focusing particularly on the influential figure of Alice Paul and her pivotal role in the women's suffrage movement in the United States. The book is likely to appeal to those interested in women's rights, political history, and the struggle for equality, as it delves deeply into the strategies, challenges, and triumphs of the suffragettes. The beginning of the narrative sets the stage for the women’s suffrage struggle, highlighting the political landscape in the United States as of 1912. It describes how Alice Paul entered the scene during a time when the movement to amend the Constitution for women’s voting rights was stagnating at the federal level. The initial chapters introduce key figures such as Paul and her collaborator Lucy Burns, emphasizing their backgrounds and the unique strategies they developed to galvanize support for the suffrage cause. The narrative discusses the obstacles they faced, including political indifference and societal attitudes, revealing the fervent dedication of the women involved as they laid the groundwork for the persistence that would eventually lead to the ratification of the suffrage amendment.
