Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Biographical sources would provide information specific to Alice Paul and her experiences, activism, and contributions to the women's suffrage movement. Journals may provide information about the time period and larger social and political context, but may not focus specifically on Alice Paul. Encyclopedias may provide a general overview but may not delve deeply into her specific contributions. Government databases may have relevant information but may be more focused on legislative or political processes rather than individual activists.
