The Alice Paul Equality Awards
are named in memory of Alice Stokes Paul
(1885-1977). Born in Mount Laurel, NJ, Alice
dedicated her life to the single cause of securing
equal rights for all women. Alice Paul led the
final campaign for women's right to vote.
After the 1920 victory, she authored the Equal
Rights Amendment and initiated gender equality
principles in both the United Nations Charter and in
the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The Alice Paul Institute was created in 1985 to
enhance public awareness of Paul's life and work.
API acquired Paulsdale, her Mount Laurel birthplace
and home, in 1990 and has developed the site as a
women's history and leadership center.
Paulsdale, a National Historic Landmark, was
restored to appear as it did when Paul lived there,
from 1885 to 1920.
