In the 1890s and early 1900s, it was still a radical idea. Yet more people became convinced that women\u2019s civic duty included voting. This timeline examines the suffrage movement in the Baltimore-Washington DC region and the role of Goucher College.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All images are provided by <a

Alice Paul and Lucy Burns believed that CU should use more militant, but non-violent, strategies to achieve their goals. With NAWSA in disagreement, the CU and NAWSA parted ways in June 1913. In 1917, the CU officially merged with the National Woman\u2019s Party.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #333333\"><strong>May 31, 1913<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\">8,000 suffragists marched in the Baltimore Suffrage Parade on May 31, 1913.

Two hundred fifty people met in the gymnasium in Bennett Hall. Ida Glatt \u201817, an active suffragist in Baltimore and DC, was president, and Dr. Lilian Welsh was faculty advisor. During the meeting, three students reported on attending a national conference on suffrage in December 1915: Edith Robertine Lyon \u201818, Evangelyn Barsky \u201816, Esther Moses \u201819.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\">*November 6 \u2013Students host a mock presidential election in Goucher Hall.

The CU and the NWP merged in 1917. The NWP was known for its militant tactics and pickets on the White House from 1917-1919 where many NWP members were arrested.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wpostahs-slider-nav-content\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wpostahs-centent-title\">1917 \u2013 1919<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpostahs-centent\">\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\">The NWP was the first group in American history to picket the White House.\u00a0 The women promised to protest six days a week, all day long until women had the right to vote on a national level. They were called the \u201cSilent Sentinels\u201d because the protesting women did not speak.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<div class=\"wpostahs-slider-nav-content\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"wpostahs-centent-title\">1917<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpostahs-centent\">\n\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: left\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;color: #333333\">The NWP planned themed protest days outside the White House. College Day was held on February 3, 1917, and NWP wanted Goucher students to participate, not only because students and faculty had been supportive in the past, but because President Woodrow Wilson\u2019s daughter, Margaret Wilson, was a student at Goucher.
