Repeatedly picketing the White House

Explanation:

The National Woman's Party was formed with the sole purpose of fighting for a passage of a constitutional amendment ensuring women's suffrage throughout the United States. The prominent leaders were Alice Paul and Lucy Burns.

Before, during and after the World War 1, most women in America and many other parts of were disenfranchized. Despite the fact that the American President then Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat, championed democracy in the world during the wartime, the disenfranchizement of women in America was seen by the National Woman's Party as hypocrisy on his part. Therefore, the group started picketing the White House from between January 10, 1917 until June 1919. These protest group known as the Silent Sentinels were tolerated at first, but were subsequently arrested by police for obstructing traffic when they continued their picketing after the United States declared war in 1917.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
