Every woman who remembers they weren't allowed to vote, in the not too distant past.

its part of our history

National women’s suffrage, however, did not exist until the twentieth century. When women became more and more aggressive with their beliefs, officials became embarrassed and started arresting the suffragists and even in jail women were deprived of rights such as wearing uniforms and writing letters. Finally, under the pressure of all of the suffrage groups, President Woodrow Wilson urged a compliant Congress to pass what became, when it was ratified in 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment. Today the Center for American Women and Politics keeps alive the push for more women to continue to participate in the government.
