A Century Ago...

Tennessee ratified the 19th Amendment recognizing women's right to vote. Despite Abigail Adams' plea to her husband to "remember the ladies"  in 1776, women were forgotten when suffrage was concerned. The organized fight for womens' suffrage began at the Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls, New York. (Remember Seneca Falls, Selma, and Stonewall?)

In 1917, suffragists' signs asked Woodrow Wilson, "Mr. President, how long must women wait for liberty?"

Here's a visual history from The New York Times.

Here's a description of the Night of Terror--something you'll never learn in school. I only learned about it in a TV movie.

Remember. Vote!
