Alice M. Gram Robinson (March 16, 1895 – January 24, 1984)[1] was an American suffragist, journalist, and editor.
[5] Gram was a student in 1917 when she traveled to Washington, D.C. as a member of the College Equal Suffrage League, and was arrested for obstructing traffic while carrying a banner at a National Woman's Party Silent Sentinels demonstration.
[6] She and her sister both served more than a week at Occoquan Workhouse,[7] before they were pardoned by President Woodrow Wilson.
[8] Gram stayed in Washington, first working for the National Woman's Party, and in 1919 as one of the co-founders of the Women's National Press Club, along with Cora Rigby, Carolyn Vance Bell, Elizabeth King, Florence Brewer Boeckel, and Eleanor Nelson.
[9][10] Gram founded The Capitol Eye (soon retitled Congressional Digest) in 1921, initially to help new women voters understand legislative issues by presenting arguments regarding bills dealing with public health and education in a side-by-side, pro/con format.
