We still have inertia and memory loss to overcome resulting from the first wave of the women’s suffrage movement having been buried throughout most of the 20th century, except for those determined scholars and advocates determined to dig into the past. We’re making progress based on the increasing numbers of those with their eyes on 2020, an election year, as well as the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. Spread the word. The news of the first wave isn’t mainstream yet. We’re increasing in numbers and can’t take anything for granted.

Join the National Women’s History Project’s effort to make August 26th—Women’s Equality Day—a federal holiday.
