We’re interested in bringing our fabulous suffrage history of the past together with the present day and then informing and inspiring the future. One way is by visiting suffrage historic sites. Birthdays are always a fun celebration, especially with it being Susan B. Anthony’s birthday this weekend.

What better way to celebrate than to help a high school women’s studies class in California move the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA) forward. I signed their petition. Add your name. The students’ goal is 5,000 signers. They have about half that amount as I write this. Show them your support!

VIDEO: about suffrage activist Susan B. Anthony. ARTICLE  I wrote in New York History about Susan B. Anthony in Rochester, NY and her many fans.

Continuing on with the celebration of Susan’s birthday, she would have been at One Billion Rising on February 14th, the annual international event that brings attention to the necessity of ending violence against women and girls. It’s a rush to attend an event in your own community. I did. What about you?

Subscribe to a weekly journal that highlights a great deal of what’s going on in women’s history. Women’s History Weekly Digest from Chick History does just that, and you’ll hear the news in the words of the newsmakers themselves. Every week I skim through the digest and have found some gems to share on Suffrage Wagon. Go directly to the source. It’s only one email a week, and it’s worth signing up!

News Notes: C-Span video about Elizabeth Cady Stanton is worth watching. The Huffington Post featured Louise Bernikow’s article about teaching the suffrage movement to school children. It’s an interesting take on what’s ahead relative to bringing this important part of American history to light. See: #1. #2.
