They had marched from Malcolm X Park in Washington, DC, leading more than 5,000 peace activists associated with Code Pink, Women for Peace, to the White House. As thousands of anti-war activists peacefully encircled the White House holding hands, Walker, Kingston and 21 other women registered their opposition to war by singing on the sidewalk in front of the White House, which the police had blockaded. The police arrested them at 5 PM. <br><br> &ldquo;The White House refuses to listen to the people of the world who are trying to stop this immoral and unnecessary war from happening, and won&rsquo;t even let peaceful protesters get near them to express our dissent. I&rsquo;m not surprised that these women spontaneously decided to make a stand for peace--women know how devastating a war will be <br>  <br> for Iraqi women and children and how much it will endanger our <br>  <br> families here at home,&rdquo; said Jodie Evans, a co-founder of CodePink, <br>  <br> the women&rsquo;s anti-war group that organized the International Women&rsquo;s <br>  <br> Day Peace event. <br><br> The women arrested were from all over the United States and included <br>  <br> Pacifica Radio's host of Deamocracy Now! Amy Goodman, Publisher Nina Utne, Authors <br>  <br> Terry Tempest Williams and Susan Griffin, CodePink Co-founder <br>  <br> Medea Benjamin, Reverend Patricia Ackerman, and Musician Rachel <br>  <br> Bagby, among others. <br><br> Earlier in the day, these women and others spoke at the CodePink <br>  <br> International Women&rsquo;s Day Anti-War rally. It was one of dozens of <br>  <br> women&rsquo;s anti-war events that were scheduled for March 8, International <br>  <br> Women&rsquo;s Day, in cities from Pheonix, Arizona to Laramie, Wyoming to <br>  <br> Nashville, Tennessee. <br><br> Women have played a key role in the burgeoning U.S. anti-war <br>  <br> movement, and recent polls on Iraq reveal a gender divide in support <br>  <br> for a war. A February 2003 New York Times\/CBS poll revealed that 12 <br>  <br> percent more women than men support a diplomatic solution with Iraq. <br>  <br> A recent Zogby International poll showed that while 45 percent of men <br>  <br> said they would strongly support a war against Iraq, only 21 percent of <br>  <br> women did. <br>  <br> <\/p>\n","contact":"","link":"www.codepink4peace.org","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Twenty three women, including nationally\r\nrecognized award-winning authors Alice Walker and Maxine Hong Kingston, Pacifica Radio's Amy Goodman, were arrested in front of the White House on International Women\u2019s Day, protesting against the Bush Administration\u2019s proposed war on Iraq.

I'm not sure how long this went on, but several years I believe, before women were FINALLY granted the right to VOTE.  Their calm and dignified non-violence so inspired Thoreau, that he wrote his famous essay on Civil Disobedience.  The central idea of this essay is that when the laws are unjust , the just belong in jail.  Thoreau's Civil Disobedience was read by Ghandi when he was fighting for equality in South Africa.  From this, he evolved his ideas of non-violent resistence.  Ghandi's writings and actions in turn inspired Martin Luther King, Jr.  IT ALL STARTED WITH THE WOMEN OUTSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE!

Actually Civil Disobediance was written in 1849 and women didn't gain the right to vote until 1920. So it wasn't just a few years of non-violent actions. I know that many of the suffragetes did civil disobedience in the 1870s. (Susan B. Anthony was arrested for trying to vote in 1872) It is possible that women were doing actions in front of the white house in the 1840s, though I think they are not as well known as the actions they were doing in the 1910s.
