RIDGEFIELD, Conn. -- The fight for women's rights is almost as old
as our country. But the women who led the way and are still doing so,
aren't always recognized for their accomplishments.
That's why
New Jersey state Sen. Diane Allen (R-Burlington) is urging Congress to
recognize women's rights heroine the late Alice Paul, a New Jersey
native and longtime Ridgefield resident .
Allen is sponsoring a resolution -- that just passed the New Jersey
Senate State Government, Wagering, Tourism & Historic Preservation
Committee -- to posthumously award the Congressional Gold Medal to Paul
in recognition of her role in leading the women’s suffrage movement and
in advancing equal rights for women. MORE
