Charm girls are very important to women's history because they are the origin of the "new woman". These are the women who ultimately decided to change the way women should act. Charity Girls began in 1880 and lasted until around 1920 in New York. They were very light women at that time; however, they differed from prostitutes because they did not accept money from men. These women were more open about their sexuality and did what they wanted, when they wanted, without worrying about what others thought of them. At that time, chastity was very important and many people looked down on this new idea that women had for them. This is why it is so important to study these women because it is a significant change in women's history. One of the most important, and often most forgotten, women in women's suffrage was Alice Paul. She was the first woman to earn her doctorate. at the University of Pennsylvania and also earned a law degree from American University. She founded the National Women's Party (NWP) in 1916. The way she fought for women's rights was very different from the way women in the National American Woman Suffrage Association (NAWSA) fought for it . But in the end, they praised Alice Paul and the work she did to gain women's rights. She had raised $750,000 in less than 10 years fighting for the 19th Amendment, which in today's society would be $9.9 million. She also created the idea of ​​lobbying, which is still actively used in modern politics. Her efforts and drive make her one of the most important women to study in women's history. Often, she is never even mentioned during history classes when students learn about women's suffrage. Teachers and professors usually stick to middle of paper...... 1.
