Lucy, along with Alice Paul, revitalize the lagging suffrage cause in the early 20th Century. Together, they founded the National Woman's Party. Organizing parades, pageants, marches and fundraisers, Burns was arrested more frequently and served more time in jail than any other suffragist in American History. She was amongst those tortured at the Occoquan Workhouse, during the Night of Terror, 14 November 1917.
