This learning resource focuses on the tactics employed by key figures in the women's suffrage movement during Woodrow Wilson's presidency, particularly Carrie Chapman Catt, Alice Paul, and Lucy Burns. It outlines Catt's moderate 'Winning Plan,' which included centralized lobbying, state-by-state campaigns, and maintaining a conservative image to gain political support, as well as Paul's and Burns' more radical approaches through the National Woman's Party, which sought immediate federal action via tactics like picketing the White House, using provocative messaging, and employing hunger strikes as a form of protest. The resource encourages students to compare these divergent strategies and consider their effectiveness in advancing the suffrage agenda, while also prompting reflection on modern campaigning methods.
