Letter from Andrew Brodbeck, Congressman from Pennsylvania, to Mrs. A.A. Holden regarding the woman suffrage amendment and the National Woman's Party pickets of the White House.
In 1917, the National Woman's Party, founded by Alice Paul, targeted the President and Congress by staging protests at the gates of the White House every day to garner nationwide attention on the suffrage movement and fight for a federal suffrage amendment. The nonviolent protests ultimately led to attacks, arrest, imprisonment and force-feeding of the women. The National American Woman Suffrage Association and its affiliates were vocal in condemning the pickets and demonstrating ongoing support of the government and President Wilson.
