Black-and-white photograph of Alice Paul (1885–1977), the prominent American suffragist and leader of the National Woman's Party, taken around 1915. She stands outdoors wearing early 20th-century attire: a large, wide-brimmed dark hat adorned with feathers or flowers, a high-collared white blouse with ruffled detailing, and a dark jacket. Her dark hair is styled neatly beneath the hat, and she looks to her right with a calm, confident smile that conveys determination and quiet strength. The blurred background suggests a ship railing or similar structure, evoking the era's militant campaign for women's voting rights and the 19th Amendment.
