(LACEY TOWNSHIP, NJ) -- Garden State native Alice Paul stands tall among the pioneers of women’s rights in America. In honor of Women's History Month, the Ocean County Library is pleased to present "Alice Paul: New Jersey's Crusader for Equality" at the OCL Lacey Branch on Thursday, March 13, 2025. The event begins at 3:30pm.
During the presentation by the Alice Paul Center for Gender Justice of Mount Laurel, you’ll become familiar with one of America’s most significant architects of the movement to achieve equal rights for all.
Alice Paul’s awareness of economic and gender disparities began when she entered the field of social work. She became a key organizer and political strategist in the successful drive to add the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, giving women the right to vote, despite repeated incarceration for her actions. Alice Paul remained committed to the cause until her death at 92.
