Virtual Tour of the Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument

A 45-minute tour of the museum exhibits using photographs of the collection of furniture, textiles, artwork, and other historical artifacts. Hosted by Warren-Newport Public Library.

We share the story of Alice Paul's political savvy and the National Woman's Party's transgressive, confrontational tactics in support of woman suffrage.

The tour concentrates on the work for the passage and ratification of the 19th Amendment between 1913-1920.

We conclude with a discussion of the political activism of the NWP towards equality, including the work in support of the Equal Rights Amendment. Q&A follows.
