Alice Paul was beaten, arrested, force-fed in prison, and nearly killed — and she considered all of it a tactical success. While Susan B.

This episode traces Paul from her Quaker upbringing through her radicalization in London with the Pankhursts, the 1913 Washington march, the Night of Terror at Occoquan prison, and the constitutional victory she spent the rest of her life trying to extend with the Equal Rights Amendment.
