Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913

The Woman Suffrage Parade of 1913 , held in Washington, D.C., was a suffragist parade organized by Alice Paul for the National American Woman Suffrage Association. On March 3, 1913, the day before President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration, thousands of suffragists marched down Pennsylvania Avenue "in a spirit of protest against the present political organization of society, from which women are excluded". The march and the attention it attracted were important in advancing women's suffrage in the United States.
