My 30-yr old niece sent me this. Very encouraging!
Remember Your Mothers, Grandmothers and Great-Grandmothers
quote:
This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.
________

Remember, it was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.
________

The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote.(...)

It's that type of knowledge that makes me vote and confident that if our feminist fore mothers could do it ( make change), so we can we/I. I really think that people don't know what they have.
