Here is a Cultural Literacy worksheet on Alice Paul. This is a full-page document with a reading of four sentences, all of them long, and the first a compound separated by a semicolon, and six comprehension questions. This worksheet is long enough to serve as independent practice, otherwise known as homework.
Did you know that Alice Paul was the first, in 1923, to write and propose an Equal Rights Amendment to the United States Constitution? You know, the one Phyllis Schlafly worked so hard to defeat in the 1970s? If you watched the FX miniseries Mrs. America (which includes the extraordinary Uzo Aduba as Shirley Chisolm) you know something about this. Alice Paul also worked for the ratification of the 19th Amendment, affirming a woman’s right to vote, to the United States Constitution.
