People opposed women’s suffrage because they said that it would rid the domestic tranquility a woman created when she wasn't’ able to vote.

They thought that the politics at the time would frighten women or change them for the bad.

Alice and Carrie wanted most of the same things for the movement but Alice was more tenacious, she may have crossed the line but it was worth it in her eyes to prove that women deserved the same rights of men. The local suffragist groups did a great job at promoting the movement but all they did was promote it, they didn’t accomplish or make as much of a statement as Alice. Woodrow Wilson didn’t support the movement at first but once he saw what the movement was all about he decided the support it. Him supporting it showed how the movement was important enough for the president to support. The progressive era didn’t help the movement due the fact that it divided the movement because it showed how people's different views didn’t always bring people together. All in all Alice Paul was the most important piece to the puzzle of the women's suffrage
