Officials describe Mt. Laurel native Alice Paul as one of the most influential women in American history.
The Burlington County Lyceum of History and Natural Sciences is hosting a presentation on Alice Paul on March 16 from 1 to 3 p.m.
Officials describe Mt. Laurel native Alice Paul as one of the most influential women in American history, leading the final fight for women’s suffrage and championing equal rights for women through most of the 20th century.
However, officials, say most people are unaware of the pivotal role this Mount Laurel native played in procuring the political rights American women now enjoy.
This presentation and discussion explores Alice Paul’s life, her roots in the New Jersey Quaker community and her work for women’s rights in the U.S. and around the world.
Refreshments will be served.
The presentation is sponsored by the Burlington County Lyceum of History and Natural Sciences Association.
