Political party development in Washington, Virginia

The Belmont-Paul Women's Equality National Monument is a museum located at 144 Constitution Avenue Northeast in Washington, D.C. This historic institution was home to the National Woman's Party for over 90 years, serving as the epicenter of the fight for women's rights. Alice Paul and the NWP developed groundbreaking strategies at this house near the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court to advocate for the Equal Rights Amendment and gender equality. President Barack Obama designated it as a national monument on April 12, 2016. Originally the home of the Secretary of the Treasury, the house was burned by the British during the War of 1812 before becoming a significant location for the women's rights movement. Visitors can learn about Alice Paul's lifelong dedication to women's equality and her bold campaign for the 19th Amendment. The museum also explores the Historic Resource Study and the enduring legacy of the National Woman's Party in the Woman Suffrage and Equal Rights movements.
