If he is against us, women should know it. They will be aroused to greater action if he is not allowed to remain silent upon something in which he does not believe. Obviously, he wanted to keep his opinions about the movement to himself and Ms. Paul was bound to cause him to speak out. .
At this time, the movement lost one of its strongest champions, Inez Milholland Boissevain, who passed away after saying, "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?" She then fell to the floor and never regained consciousness. An impressive memorial was held in her honor on Christmas Day in Washington. In Statuary Hall under the dome of the Capitol, filled with statues of outstanding figures in the struggle for political and religious liberty in this country, the first memorial service ever held in the Capitol to honor a woman, was held for this gallant young leader.
Desperate to find a way to reach the president, the member of the movement began taking turns sitting in at the White House. This, of course, caused quite a stir in 1917. Women stood quietly at the White House urging President Wilson to put the power of his office behind the suffrage amendment. "Unwomanly" . . . "dangerous." These words and many others were used to describe the women in the movement and their actions for equality. "Silly women" . . . "unsexed" . . . "pathological" . . . "They must be crazy" . . . "Don't they know anything about politics?" . . . "What can Wilson do? He does not have to sign the constitutional amendment." . . . This was what they heard from people on the street, watching the "shocking," "shameless" women at the gates of the White House.
The time had come for members of the movement to make an even greater sacrifice for the sake of the getting the suffrage amendment passed by Congress. Normally quiet and polite women took a stand for equality and set their powers in for the long haul. As the women protested, sat in at the White House, and made speeches and marches throughout this country, it appeared that the everyday citizens were beginning to recognize the need for all people to have equal rights.
