Best Answer

Alice Paul went on hunger strike so that she could protest the harsh treatment herself and other women's suffragists were receiving while they were in jail. In order to break the hunger strike, the guards refused to give the women their mail or allow them to see visitors.

She went to jail several times for disorderly conduct and disturbing the peace because of her work with the women's suffrage movement
