The
Woman suffrage parade of 1913, officially the
Woman Suffrage Procession, was the first suffragist parade in Washington, D.C.. Organized by the suffragist
Alice Paul for the
National American Woman Suffrage Association, thousands of suffragists marched down
Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C. on March 3, 1913. The march was scheduled on the day before President
Woodrow Wilson's
inauguration to "march in a spirit of protest against the present political organization of society, from which women are excluded", as the official program stated.
