Lonely Planet review for Sewall-Belmont House

The District – sadly – lacks a specific monument and museum to the women’s rights movement, but it does have this historic house, home base of the National Woman’s Party since 1929, and 43-year residence of the party’s legendary founder, suffragette Alice Paul. Paul spearheaded efforts to gain the vote for women (enshrined in the 19th Amendment) and wrote the Equal Rights Amendment. Docents show off historical exhibits, portraits, sculpture and a library that celebrates feminist heroes.
