The Suffragist (1913-20) was a weekly newspaper published by the Congressional Union for Woman Suffrage. Started by Alice Paul with Rheta Childe Dorr as its first editor, its goal was to spread women's political news and to advance movements toward a suffrage amendment. The newspaper gave its publishers an avenue to communicate directly with each other and supporters without going through the mainstream media. The cover of each issue usually featured a full-page cartoon. Artist Nina Allender presented a new image of the suffragist as young and physically beautiful, as well as courageous and intelligent.
