Early work in British woman suffrage

In 1907, after completing her master's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, Alice moved to England where she eventually became deeply involved with women suffragists and their work. Alice encountered Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst, the militant founders of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in Britain.[9] It was through working with these women that Alice found that social work could not bring about the changes in the status of women that she wanted. Militant activism became her vocation.
