Answer:
The correct answer is B. Alice Paul was a significant woman during the Progressive Era because she was the leader of the suffrage movement's most militant wing and proposed an Equal Rights Amendment in 1920.
Explanation:
Alice Stokes Paul was an American feminist activist, who led the campaign for the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
Paul thought of the struggle for suffrage with radical measures and forms, far from the moderation of the National Woman's Suffrage Association. In addition, her sole objective was to reform the Constitution, instead of carrying out state-by-state referendums. She was expelled from the association in 1916 and founded the National Women's Party, with which she continued her activism for more than half a century.
After obtaining the approval and ratification of the Nineteenth Aendment to the Constitution in 1920, Paul continued to work in the international arena under the World Women's Party, which among other things achieved the inclusion of women's rights in the Charter of the United Nations. In addition, the activist promoted the inclusion of a protection for women in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and was the author of the Equal Rights Amendment, which was approved by Parliament but failed to ratify enough states to become effective.
