Lucy Burns, American Suffragette

Lucy Burns (July 28, 1879 - December 22, 1966) was an American suffragette and women's rights advocate. Burns met Alice Paul while in England where they were arrested twice, imprisoned, went on hunger strikes and were force fed. Upon returning to the US they joined the NAWSA, but their ideas were too radical and together they formed National Woman's Party. Burns was arrested in 1917 while picketing the White House and was sent to Occoquan Workhouse. After the women of the United States gained the right to vote, Burns retired from political life and devoted herself to the Catholic Church and her orphaned niece. Harris & Ewing, 1913 (cropped and cleaned).
