Paul soon moved to England, where she studied social work and joined the British suffrage movement where she learned militant protest strategies, including breaking windows, hunger strikes, forming picket lines and other tactics and forms of civil disobedience. There, she was arrested on seven occasions and jailed three times. During the presidential election, Paul and her party opposed President Wilson and other Democrats' refusal to support the suffragettes' efforts for an amendment.

They held signs demanding suffrage rights, exemplifying nonviolent civil disobedience. In July , the picketers were arrested for obstructing traffic, and many, including Paul, were found guilty and sent to prison. While in prison, Paul initiated a hunger strike to protest the horrendous conditions. As a result, she was transferred to the psychiatric ward and forcibly fed raw eggs through a tube.

The combination of prison protests, demonstrations, and media coverage put pressure on President Wilson's administration. In January , Wilson declared that women's suffrage had become a necessity and urged Congress to change legislation accordingly.
