A Woman’s Place Is In the Sewall-Belmont House: Alice Paul and Women’s Rights

In 1929, the National Woman's Party set up headquarters in the Sewall-Belmont House on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. Their leader, Alice Paul, was a tireless advocate for woman's rights, well known for drafting the first Equal Rights Amendment in 1921. This lesson plan from the National Park Service explores this historic home and Paul's work through primary documents, maps, images, and classroom activities. The Table of Contents area contains a number of sections, including Locating the Site: Maps, Determining the Facts: Readings, and Visual Evidence: Images. The site is rounded out by classroom activities, which include explorations into oral history and investigations into the history of liberties denied and enjoyed by various groups of citizens.
