 Before she died in 1977, Alice Paul was interviewed for a suffragist history project. The audio is with the Oral History Center of the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley. She said at first the police wouldn't let them march where they wanted to. So we said we just must have Pennsylvania Avenue, and they said, well, that's fine, we certainly won't let you have it. It's totally unsuitable for women to be marching down Pennsylvania Avenue.
