Meme: a black and white portrait photo of a young Alice Stokes Paul, seated with her hands in her lap and her face turned directly to the camera. Above her photo is the text: “This is Alice Paul. She nearly died for the right to vote.” Beneath the head-and-shoulders portion of her photo it says, “What are you doing today?”

Susan B. Anthony is the suffragist who gets the attention, but I most admire Dr. Alice Stokes Paul, Sojourner Truth, & Lucretia Coffin Mott. They have my gratitude when I vote.
I encourage learning about these remarkable women; this post focuses on Alice Paul, who died in 1977 (when I was in high school!) Learn about her at these websites:
