Alice Paul

If there were ever a woman I would do the honor of labeling  "Real G" it would have to be Alice Paul. Born in 1885 and dying in 1977, she was an American women's rights activist. Not only did Alice Paul fight fiercely for women to have the right to vote in the United States, pushing relentlessly for the 19th Amendment to be passed, but she continued fighting for the Equal Rights Amendment. This amendment stated that not only would women be able to vote, but they would hold the same rights as men did in the United States. Considering the fact that women were considered to be maids and child bearers alone, this is a large step toward the equality we state that we want and have in the United States. Aside from fighting for the equal rights of women, Alice Paul established the Women's Party in 1916.
Alice Paul fought relentlessly for the rights of woman, and in doing so was arrested seven times in  England. Of the three times she actually went to jail, she went on hunger strikes in an effort to continue her fight. She was very militant and stubborn; there was no compromise concerning where she stood pertaining to women holding the very same rights as men did.
Although we have not yet reached equality and have not in the past, when Alice Paul died on July 9th of 1977, she died knowing women had the right to vote and were much closer to the equality she spent her time fighting for.

One of my favorite quotes by this phenomenal woman is as follows:
This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been. 

Thank you, Alice. I hope one day, I will be as great as you

With love,
