Today is the 100 year anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment giving American women the right to vote. Women were egregiously oppressed before then, and the vote gave them their first big way to change that.facebook.com/207697880579/po…

The 19th Amendment: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” Voter suppression continued, particularly of Black men & women in the South, but the 19th amendment says what it says.
