In the early 1900s, it became clear to many women that they would never receive the right to vote unless they began to take action and fight for it. Two women, Carrie Chapman Catt and Alice Paul, were at the forefront of this battle. These two women, although fighting for the same cause, had different ways of going about the fight. Catt took a more subtle approach when advocating for women’s suffrage while Paul took a more radical approach. Catt, Paul, and other suffragists ultimately succeed in their efforts when they gained the right to vote in August of 1920.
