Alice Paul quote: This world crisis came about without women having anything to do with it. If the women of the world had not been excluded from world affairs, things today might have been different.
Lillian Russell was one of the best known actresses and singers in the late 19th century. She started her career starring in comic operas, operettas and musical theater, and set fashion trends when she rode her gold-plated bicycle (custom made for her by Tiffany & Co.) in a cycling suit with the skirt shortened by three inches. She was also a suffragist and newspaper columnist, aided the formation of the Chorus Equity Association, recruited for the US Marine Corps and worked for the Harding administration. When she died in 1922, she was buried with full military honors.
