Hou Alice! Thank God. I got your telegram and came as soon as I could. What's the emergency?
The first protest march ever held in our nation's capital today.
Two months from today, so there's no time to waste. Welcome to our new office. You remember the suffrage march planning committee?
Holy cow, how many in it? Counting you? Don't say two. Two. But Alice, we're not in college anymore. We've never planned a national action before.
Nope. How will we do it when it's never been done? How will we find the way where there isn't one? How will we find a way? Find a way. We've got to find a way. Find a way.
First pursuit is to recruit Inez Millholland. The Inez Millholland? The papers call her glamorous, dazzling, all the things I'm not. We need a public face. It's gotta be Inez Millholland.
I'm Alice Paul, and this is my best friend Lucy Burns. We were field hockey teammates at Swarthmore. Office defense? Wow, okay. Sporty. Why don't we have a smoke? Oh yes, we adore cigarettes.
It's really nice. We want you to be the grand marshal of our suffrage march. Miss Paul, I'm far too busy with the bar. She'd rather get licked than fight for our liberty. I'm studying for the bar exam. Oh, that's marvelous. We could use your legal skills to procure our permit.
This march is unprecedented. How so? It's on Pennsylvania Avenue, a day before the inauguration. We'll make every front page with a picture of you leading the pack on horseback. I should be riding. My steed should be white, a feminine reclaiming of the armored knight.
Of course. Where the hell are we getting a horse? How will we do it when it's never been done? How will we find a way where there isn't one? How will we find a way? Find a way. We've got to find a way. Find a way.
I want you to meet someone. A socialite, a socialist. Bruja Vin Slavska. Bruja Vin Slavska?
My fellow workers, we must strike. Came from Poland when she was seven. We must strike for safe conditions. In a mill since she was eleven. This is her fight too. Not just us fortunate few.
They'll listen to her. Strike! Not to you. Strike! Strike! Strike!
That was a great speech. Bruja, this is Alice Paul from the suffrage movement. Suffrage is votes for women. I'm Polish, not stupid. Look, I've won no part of your polite little suffragette parlor games. Well, that's perfect because when we take on a tyrant, we burn him down. Or they march.
How will we do it when it's never been done? How will we find a way where there isn't one? How will we find a way? Find a way. We've got to find a way. Find a way.
