 | 2009 Alice Award Luncheon

The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum, on Capitol Hill, explores the evolving role of women and their contributions to society through the continuing, and often untold, story of women's pursuit for equality.
The museum is the headquarters of the historic National Woman's Party and was the Washington home of its founder and Equal Rights Amendment author Alice Paul.
Alice Paul, founder of the National Woman's Party, dedicated her life to securing equal rights for women. The political strategies and techniques of Alice Paul and the NWP became the blueprint for civil rights organizations during the twentieth century. Paul is known internationally as a humanitarian; she was a great revolutionary and pioneer in the fight for women's equal rights.
Museum Highlights
 | NWP Digital Collection The National Woman's Party Digital Collection offers visitors a first-hand look at the extraordinary documentation of the suffrage and equal rights movements. The depth and diversity of the collection demonstrates how the records, artifacts, and images of the past influence and help to form the ideas of the present. |
 | Educational Programs The suffrage movement is, no doubt, an important mark in the country's pursuit for equality for all people. The Sewall-Belmont House and Museum strives to bring to all ages educational programming that positions leadership and empowerment within the story of the longest civil rights movement in the country—women's enfranchisement and equality. |
