Belmont–Paul Women's Equality NM
Built in 1800 on Capitol Hill, the brick Federal-period house, now known as Belmont-Paul Women’s Equality National Monument, stands as one of Washington, D.C.'s oldest residential properties. From this historic location near the U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court, Alice Paul and the National Women's Party (NWP) pioneered innovative strategies to champion the Equal Rights Amendment and women's equality. For over 90 years, it served as the NWP's headquarters, playing a pivotal role in advancing women's rights. Although the ERA was not ultimately ratified, the NWPA's efforts helped to raise awareness of the need for equal rights for women. This house symbolizes the unwavering strength of the women's rights movement and remains a testament to the power of grassroots activism.
