Alice Paul.

She and other women held signs outside of the White House asking for women's rights. Many women were arrested and charged. But they kept on fighting. Finally, to break the spirit of the suffrage, the police arrested Alice. She survived on bread and water. She was very weak (so weak she couldn't walk) so she was sent to the prison hospital. Where she refused to eat as an attempt to fight for women's rights. They ended up having to feed her through a tube that led from her throat to her stomach.
